What the test measures

25(OH)D

The form of vitamin D your liver makes, reported as D2 and D3 together.

Who may need this test

  • Bone pain, muscle weakness, soft or weak bones, or fractures
  • Little sun exposure, poor nutrition, weight-loss surgery, or a condition that affects absorption
  • Kidney or liver disease, older age, or certain medicines
  • You take vitamin D and your doctor wants to check that levels are improving and not too high

Routine testing for everyone is generally not recommended. Low levels are usually managed with supplements or food, as your doctor advises. Too much from supplements can cause nausea and weakness.

How to prepare

  • Usually no special preparation. Your booking shows the exact instruction for your test.
  • Tell us about every medicine and supplement you take. Do not stop any unless your doctor tells you to.

What can affect your result

  • Sun exposure, skin colour, diet and absorption problems
  • Some medicines, such as phenytoin and rifampin
  • Lab ranges and cut-offs vary, so your doctor interprets the result
