Test Details
The Vitamin D 25 – Hydroxy test, also known as the 25-hydroxycholecalciferol test or simply the Vitamin D test, is a blood test that measures the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the body. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the body, supporting healthy bones, teeth, and immune function. It also plays a role in cell growth, neuromuscular function, and reducing inflammation. There are two forms of Vitamin D that are measured in this test: Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D2 is obtained from plant-based sources, while Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight and is also found in animal-based sources.
The test is typically ordered by a healthcare provider if there is a suspicion of Vitamin D deficiency or to monitor the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation. Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency may include bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, and increased susceptibility to infections. The results of the test are reported as a numerical value in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). The optimal range for Vitamin D levels may vary depending on the laboratory, but generally, levels between 30-100 ng/mL (75-250 nmol/L) are considered sufficient.
If the test results show a Vitamin D deficiency, the healthcare provider may recommend supplementation with Vitamin D3 or lifestyle modifications such as increased sun exposure and dietary changes. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for interpretation of the test results and appropriate treatment options.
