25-OH Vitamin D (CMIA)

The 25-OH Vitamin D (CMIA) Test measures the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood, which is the primary form of vitamin D circulating in the body. This test is essential for assessing vitamin D status and diagnosing deficiencies or excesses, both of which can significantly affect bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. It is particularly important for evaluating conditions related to bone disorders, such as osteoporosis, and assessing risk factors for vitamin D deficiency. The test involves drawing a blood sample, which is then analyzed using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology to determine vitamin D levels.

Regular monitoring is recommended to ensure adequate vitamin D levels for optimal health, with testing typically advised annually or as needed based on deficiency risk or symptoms.
