    What Is a Vitamin D Test?

    Cholecalciferol is called vitamin D3 and is a form of Vitamin D. It transforms into a hormone in the bloodstream and helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphate. It is an essential nutrient needed by the body for the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth and also overall health. Vitamin D3 helps the kidneys recycle phosphate back into the bloodstream, leading to the appropriate balance of pH levels. It also helps in the treatment of underactive parathyroid glands.

    There is a primary difference between vitamin D2 and D3; it is that vitamin D2 is obtained from dairy products and other food sources, while vitamin D3 is naturally made by the body when the body is exposed to sunlight and is therefore called the "sunshine vitamin.

    Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy Test Preparation

    No special preparation is required and fasting is not required.

    What does Vitamin D Test Measure

    • Vitamin D is necessary for maintaining good health. It helps the body to absorb minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus from the diet. It also helps to maintain proper levels of calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone in the blood.

    • Vitamin D plays a very important role in helping the body absorb calcium, which makes it crucial for maintaining bone health. Inadequate levels of vitamin D may lead to abnormal bone development, bone weakness, and pain

    • It is unlikely that other vitamins, like Vitamin D, can be created in the human body. When your skin is exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet radiation, it converts a chemical in the skin into an active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D may also be obtained through the diet, including from fortified or vitamin-enriched foods and vitamin supplements.

    There are two types of Vitamin D:

    • Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol): Vitamin D2 is produced in plants, such as yeast or mushrooms. This is also available as a supplement and in fortified foods.

    • Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): Vitamin D3 (Vit D3) is produced in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. It is also found in some animal-based foods and can be consumed in certain fortified foods or dietary supplements.

    • Usually, both vitamin D2 and D3 need to undergo chemical changes before being able to be used by the body. These changes occur in the liver and the kidneys and convert vitamin D into measurable substances called 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D:

    • 25-hydroxyvitamin D: In the liver, vitamin D will be converted into 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is also called 25(OH)D. Most of the time, vitamin D levels will be tested by analysing blood levels of 25(OH)D. Testing at 25(OH) D is considered the most accurate way to analyse how much vitamin D is in your body because 25(OH) is the major form of vitamin D that is circulating in the bloodstream.

    • 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D: In the kidneys, 25 (OH) D is converted into a hormone called active vitamin D or 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D. Sometimes, laboratories can check the blood level of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D, which is also called 1,25(OH)2D. This substance is generally not used to determine inadequate vitamin D levels, but it can be measured in patients with abnormal calcium levels or kidney problems.

    Why Take a Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy Test?

    The sugar or glucose that is generated from the food we eat sticks to the hemoglobin in our blood. The main aim of the random blood sugar test or the Vitamin D test is to check blood sugar levels in a person. Having a blood sugar level above the range of normal can be an indication that the person has diabetes mellitus. Along with the diagnosis of different diseases, the random blood sugar test also helps in the timely treatment of the disease through proper monitoring during as well as after the treatment. A doctor might prescribe the Vitamin D test if the patient has a family history of diabetes or is overweight.

    Additionally, your doctor might prescribe the test if you show the following symptoms:

    • Dry mouth and dehydration

    • Unexpected weight loss

    • Blurry vision

    • Slow healing process

    • Frequent urination

    .

    Who Should Take the Vitamin D Test?

    A Vitamin D test is recommended to determine if a deficiency, insufficiency, or toxic level of vitamin D is present or to monitor the treatment for a previously diagnosed deficiency.

    The doctor might recommend a vitamin D blood test for you if you are experiencing symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency, such as:

    • Weakening of the bones

    • Abnormal bone development

    • Bone deformity

    • Bone pain

    • Muscle weakness or cramps

    • Seizures

    • Dental abnormalities

    Sometimes, vitamin D tests are used as screening tests for individuals at increased risk of deficiencies. These screening tests are conducted before any symptoms occur. The following factors can increase the risk of developing a vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency:

    • Age over 65 years

    • Obesity

    • History of weight loss surgery

    • Osteoporosis

    • Reduced ability to make vitamin D in the skin due to limited sun exposure, sunscreen use, or dark skin pigmentation

    • Digestive diseases which make it difficult to absorb nutrients from food, including celiac disease and Crohn’s disease

    • Kidney and liver diseases

    • Use of certain medications

    • A vitamin D test can also be recommended if the doctor suspects that you may have abnormally high vitamin D levels, known as vitamin D toxicity. This may occur as a result of taking too much vitamin D in supplements rather than from too much sun exposure or dietary intake.

    Excess vitamin D in supplement form might cause your body to absorb more calcium from food and to reabsorb calcium from the bones into the blood. This results in excess calcium in the food, also known as hypercalcemia, which may lead to symptoms like fatigue, confusion, bone pain, nausea and vomiting, frequent urination, and kidney problems.

    The doctor who is familiar with your medical history is in the best position to determine whether you may benefit from vitamin D testing.

    A vitamin D deficiency may lead to loss of bone density, which may contribute to osteoporosis and fractures or broken bones. Severe vitamin D deficiency might also lead to another disease in children. It can cause rickets which is a rare disease that causes the bones to become soft and bend.

    Vitamin D may affect sleep indirectly through non-specific pain disorders correlated with alterations in sleep quality, such as restless legs syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In conclusion, vitamin D has both a direct and an indirect effect on sleep regulation.

    No, fasting is not typically required for a Vitamin D test. You can eat and drink normally before the test unless your doctor has asked for other tests that may require fasting.

    Regular exposure to the sun is the most natural way to get enough vitamin D. You have to sit for about 10 to 30 minutes in midday sunlight several times per week. People with darker skin might need a little more time than this. Your time of exposure depends on how sensitive your skin is to sunlight.

    One important role that vitamin D plays is in stimulating new and old hair follicles. When there isn’t enough vitamin D in your body, new hair follicle growth may be stunted. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to alopecia, the autoimmune condition that causes bald patches on the scalp and other parts of the body.

    • Had an e-consultation at 8 pm, Doctor has prescribed few blood tests (incl Dengue). Orange Health Lab to the rescue. I found a 9:30 pm slot and surprisingly the phlebotomist reached much earlier at 8:45 pm, samples were collected & he left by 9, I got my CBC-Hemogram by 11:30 pm & Dengue report by 3 am. THEY ARE SO FAST & EFFICIENT. Also got a good discount on the otherwise expensive Dengue test. A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTH OF THE HEART 🙏 Their whatsapp support is also quick & responsive.
