Test ID 2425D 25-Hydroxyvitamin D:24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Ratio, Serum


Ordering Guidance


The preferred initial test for assessing vitamin D status and most accurately reflects the body's vitamin D stores is the 25-hydroxyvitamin D test; order 25HDN / 25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3, Serum.

In the presence of kidney disease or hypercalcemia, testing of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D may be needed to adequately assess vitamin D status; order DHVD / 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D, Serum.
