Details
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy, Total, Immunoassay - This test measures the level of Vitamin D in your body, which is crucial for bone health. It's especially useful for people without kidney disease to check if they have the right amount of Vitamin D. Low levels might mean you're not getting enough Vitamin D from your diet, your body isn't absorbing it well, or your liver isn't processing it correctly. This can lead to bone issues like rickets in children or osteomalacia in adults. High levels of Vitamin D can cause a condition called hypercalcemia.
Who might need this test?
Doctors might order this test if you show signs of Vitamin D deficiency or have bone health concerns.
