What’s Tested
Vitamin D deficiency test panel for assessing vitamin D deficiency often includes measurements for vitamin D, vitamin B12, and folate. These nutrients are essential for bone health, nerve function, red blood cell production, and overall well-being.
Why Are These Tests Important?
Can lead to bone disorders, muscle weakness, and immune dysfunction.
Risk factors include limited sun exposure, certain medical conditions, and older age 13.
Can cause macrocytic anemia, neurological issues, fatigue, and other health problems.
Deficiencies are more common in people with certain dietary restrictions, absorption disorders, or chronic illnesses
When Are These Tests Ordered?
Symptoms such as fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, or memory problems.
Risk factors like older age, limited sun exposure, vegan diet, gastrointestinal disorders, or a history of anemia.
Routine health screening, especially in populations at risk for deficiencies.
What’s being tested:
Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D):
The most accurate indicator of vitamin D status is the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) blood test. This test measures both vitamin D2 and D3, reflecting total vitamin D levels in your body.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin):
Measures the amount of vitamin B12 in your blood, which is critical for nerve health, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.
Folate (Vitamin B9):
Assesses folate levels, important for DNA synthesis and red blood cell production. Folate deficiency can also cause anemia and neurological symptoms.
Why Is This Panel Beneficial?
Comprehensive Assessment: Evaluates three key nutrients at once, providing a broader view of your nutritional status.
Prevents Complications: Early detection and treatment can prevent irreversible nerve damage, osteoporosis, and severe anemia.
Supports Overall Health: Optimizing these vitamins improves energy, cognitive function, bone strength, and immune health.
