25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25-OH-VD) Rapid Quantitative Test Kit

Intended Use

The 25-hydroxy Vitamin D test kit is intended to quantitatively measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels in human serum or plasma. This test is used to assess an individual’s vitamin D status to aid in diagnosing and managing conditions related to vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, such as osteoporosis, rickets, and certain autoimmune diseases. Healthcare professionals use this test to monitor vitamin D levels in patients at risk for deficiency, including those with limited sun exposure, malabsorption syndromes, or chronic kidney disease.

About 25-hydroxy vitamin D

25-Hydroxy vitamin D, or 25(OH)D, is the main form of vitamin D circulating in the blood. It reflects total vitamin D obtained from diet, supplements, and sunlight exposure. Synthesized in the liver, 25(OH)D plays a vital role in maintaining calcium and phosphate balance, essential for bone health and immune function. Monitoring 25(OH)D levels helps diagnose and prevent vitamin D deficiency-related conditions like rickets and osteomalacia. Adequate levels support overall health, while deficiency can lead to various health issues.
