Interpretation :

1. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and exists in two main forms as cholecalciferol(vitamin D3) which is synthesized in skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol in response to sunlight exposure & Ergocalciferol(vitamin D2) present mainly in dietary sources.Both cholecalciferol & Ergocalciferol are converted to 25(OH)vitamin D in liver.
2. Testing for 25(OH)vitamin D is recommended as it is the best indicator of vitamin D nutritional status as obtained from sunlight exposure & dietary intake. For diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency it is recommended to have clinical correlation with serum 25(OH)vitamin D, serum calcium, serum PTH & serum alkaline phosphatase.
3. During monitoring of oral vitamin D therapy- suggested testing of serum 25(OH)vitamin D is after 12 weeks or 3 mths of treatment. However, the required dosage of vitamin D supplements & time to achieve sufficient vitamin D levels show significant seasonal(especially winter) & individual variability depending on age, body fat, sun exposure, physical activity, genetic factors(especially variable vitamin D receptor responses), associated liver or renal disease, malabsorption syndromes and calcium or magnesium deficiency influencing the vitamin D metabolism Vitamin D toxicity is known but very rare.kindly correlate clinically, repeat with fresh sample if indicated.
4. For diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency it is recommended to have clinical correlation with serum 25(OH)vitamin D and serum PTH.An inverse relationship exists between PTH and 25(OH)D levels, Parathyroid hormone levels start to rise at 25(OH)D levels below 31 ng/mL & usually decrease after the correction of vitamin D insufficiency.Thus, restoration of PTH and 25 (OH)D levels to normalcy after adequate vitamin D replacement therapy is a useful monitoring strategy. we are offering vitamin profile in our full body checkup panel 3 and healthy India special screening package
