What does Vitamin D Profile measure?

Contains 3 tests

Vitamin D2 - Ergocalciferol present in plants and yeast, Vitamin D3- cholecalciferol, present in animal sources. Total Vitamin D- 25-hydroxyvitamin D , present in the body and formed from both Vit. D2 and D3

The 25-hydroxyvitamin D test is done to determine the level of Vitamin D in your blood, whether it is above and below the normal range. A low blood level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D can be seen if a person is not getting enough exposure to sunlight or enough dietary vitamin D to meet his or her body's demand or if there is a problem with its absorption from the intestines (cystic fibrosis, Crohn’s disease, or who have undergone gastric bypass surgery). Sometimes, drugs used to treat seizures (Phenytoin) can cause Vitamin D deficiency by interfering with the transformation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the liver. Severe liver and kidney diseases can also cause vitamin D deficiency. An increased level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D usually reflects excess supplementation of the vitamin.
