Used to screen for Osteomalacia/Rickets. Vitamin D replacement is appropriate for deficiency < 30 nmol/L. Those with higher levels of treatment may be appropriate in some patients. There has been a change in guidance. Routine testing of Vitamin D should NOT be undertaken.
Do not measure 1,25(OH)D as it may be falsely normal or high, has a short half life and is a 1/1000 concentration as 25(OH)D and is less than useless. Measure 25(OH)D
