Test Details:
The Vitamin D Ultrasensitive test is a blood test that measures the level of Vitamin D in the body. It is called “ultrasensitive” because it can detect even very low levels of Vitamin D accurately. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps the body absorb calcium and maintain strong bones. It also plays a role in immune function, muscle function, and cell growth.
The test is usually ordered by a healthcare provider if there is a suspicion of Vitamin D deficiency or if someone has symptoms such as bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, or frequent infections. It may also be ordered to monitor the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation or to check the Vitamin D levels in individuals with certain medical conditions.
The test involves drawing a small amount of blood from a vein, usually from the arm. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days.
The normal range for Vitamin D levels can vary depending on the laboratory, but generally, a level of 30-100 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter) is considered normal. Levels below 30 ng/mL are usually indicative of Vitamin D deficiency, while levels above 100 ng/mL may indicate excess Vitamin D.
If a Vitamin D deficiency is detected, treatment may involve Vitamin D supplementation and lifestyle changes, such as spending more time in the sun or consuming foods rich in Vitamin D, like fatty fish and fortified dairy products.
It is important to note that the Vitamin D Ultrasensitive test is just one tool in assessing Vitamin D status, and healthcare providers may consider other factors, such as symptoms, medical history, and additional blood tests, when making a diagnosis or treatment plan.
