25 OH-VITAMIN D Detail

The 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D test (25-OH Vitamin D) is the most accurate way to measure the amount of Vitamin D in your blood. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, regulating calcium and phosphorus levels, and supporting immune system function.

This test helps diagnose Vitamin D deficiency or toxicity. Low levels can lead to bone weakness, fatigue, muscle pain, and conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteomalacia/osteoporosis (in adults). It is especially important for elderly individuals, people with limited sun exposure, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses or autoimmune disorders.

Regular monitoring may also be required for individuals on Vitamin D supplements or those with malabsorption syndromes like celiac disease or Crohn’s disease.

Clinical Indications:

• Bone pain or muscle weakness

• Frequent fractures or osteoporosis

• Chronic fatigue or depression

• Risk assessment in elderly or bed-ridden patients

• Monitoring Vitamin D supplementation

• Evaluation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders
