Test Details
The Vitamin D Screen test is a blood test that measures the level of vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in bone health, immune function, and overall wellbeing.
The test is typically ordered by a healthcare provider if there are concerns about vitamin D deficiency or to monitor the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation. It is especially recommended for individuals who are at a higher risk of deficiency, such as those with limited sun exposure, dark-skinned individuals, older adults, and individuals with certain medical conditions.
During the test, a healthcare professional will draw a small sample of blood from a vein in the arm. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
The results of the test will indicate the level of vitamin D in the blood, usually measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). Normal vitamin D levels typically range from 20 to 50 ng/mL (50 to 125 nmol/L). Levels below 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) are considered deficient, while levels above 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L) may indicate excess vitamin D.
If the test results show a deficiency, the healthcare provider may recommend vitamin D supplementation or lifestyle changes, such as increasing sun exposure or consuming more vitamin D-rich foods. Regular monitoring through follow-up tests may be necessary to ensure that the vitamin D levels are within the optimal range.
