HelpTest ID 2425D 25-Hydroxyvitamin D:24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Ratio, Serum
Ordering Guidance
Please consider the 25HDN or DHVD tests for Vitamin D assessment. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D test (25HDN / 25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3, Serum) in serum is the preferred initial test for assessing vitamin D status and most accurately reflects the body's vitamin D stores. In the presence of renal disease or hypercalcemia, testing of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (DHVD) might be needed to adequately assess vitamin D status.

As a screening test for inactivating CYP24A1 mutations in patients with symptoms, signs, or biochemical findings of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-independent hypercalcemia or hypercalciuria

Reference Values
Interpretative commentary provided based on 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25HDN) to 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25D) ratio result.
25HDN to 24,25D ratio less than 25*
*Interpretation: Normal (Ratio of less than 25 may also be observed in heterozygous carriers of CYP24A1 mutations)
25HDN to 24,25D ratio between 25-80**
**Interpretation: Ratios in the 25 to 80 range can be seen in patients with low vitamin D or heterozygous CYP24A1 mutations. Confirmation with molecular testing is recommended.
25HDN to 24,25D ratio greater than 80***
***Interpretation: Ratios greater than 80 indicate probable biallelic CYP24A1 mutation or deletion. Confirmation with molecular testing is recommended.
Reference values not applicable for 24,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D Total result.
Results should be interpreted in the context of other biochemical findings including serum calcium, parathyroid hormone, and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations. If 25-OH-D is less than 20 ng/ml the ratio of 25-OH-D to 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D will be falsely elevated since there is no inactivation 25-OH-D to 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
