Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and its deficiency can lead to abnormal bone development, bone weakness, and pain. It also helps maintain proper levels of calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone. Testing can be undertaken if Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency is suspected to be the cause of symptoms. Vitamin D Gold test covers the status of various components of vitamin D that is, vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), D3 (cholecalciferol) and total vitamin D (25 hydroxycalciferol). Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 are forms of 25 hydroxy vitamin D which are circulated and utilized by the body. 
 

The vitamin D gold test, also known as the 25-hydroxyvitamin D

(25(OH)D) test, or vitamin D profile, is a blood test that measures the levels of vitamin D in the body. It is considered the gold standard for assessing vitamin D status because it measures the most stable and reliable indicator of vitamin D levels, providing valuable insights into an individual's overall health and well-being.

Why is the Vitamin D Gold Test Done?

  • This profile test is carried out to determine the precise components of the body's vitamin D levels.
  • Rickets, which manifests as bone malformation and raises the risk of fracture in youngsters, and osteomalacia, which does the same in adults, must be correctly diagnosed through testing.
  • Estimated levels are used to track vitamin D replacement therapy.
  • Secondary hyperparathyroidism can be identified by low vitamin D levels.
  • Patients with renal disorders should have their 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D levels checked.

This usually takes less than five minutes.
