Vitamin A Toxicity

Join ACMT on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 12pm ET for a National Grand Rounds featuring Dr. Sherry Tanumihardjo as she explores the complex topic of vitamin A toxicity. A renowned expert in nutritional sciences, Dr. Tanumihardjo will examine how excessive intake leads to hepatic accumulation, discuss current biomarkers relevant to vitamin A status and toxicity, and evaluate global supplementation guidelines in light of differing public health needs. This session will also address the World Health Organization’s recommendations for vitamin A use in measles treatment and explore why these may not be appropriate for clinical practice in the United States.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe metabolism of vitamin A and why it accumulates in the liver during excessive intake.
  • Discuss biomarkers of vitamin A and those relevant to vitamin A toxicity.
  • Evaluate the World Health Organization's recommendations for measles and why that might not be appropriate for the United States.

About The Series: ACMT's National Grand Rounds offer an in-depth and interactive platform for learning and discussion about issues that impact the research and practice of medical toxicology. Experts from within and outside medical toxicology will share their knowledge and experience and highlight areas for collaboration and mutual understanding.

Series Moderator: Nicholas Nacca, MD, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, Director of Medical Toxicology, Associate Fellowship Director of Medical Toxicology Fellowship Program, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY
