PRIMA Vitamin D Test Kit - Short Dated

Vitamin D Test is particularly recommended for people commonly at risk of vitamin D deficiency, such as subjects with the following symptoms: frequent fatigue and tiredness, insufficient exposure to the sun, limited intake of this element through diet or who have problems in intestinal absorption.

Vitamin D Test is an immunochromatographic device that, thanks to specific antibodies, is able to detect the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in a blood sample and highlight its concentration thanks to the intensity of the Test Line (T) obtained.

This test shows results of:
“ deficit 0-10 ng/ml
“ insufficient 10-30 ng/ml
“ sufficient 30-100 ng/ml
“ excess >100 ng/ml

It is useful to do the Vitamin D Test if you suffer from osteoporosis, other bone health problems or diseases that influence fat absorption (such as celiac), following particular conditions in which the absorption of Vitamin is compromised (as a gastric bypass operation) or in case of drugs that interfere with the action of the molecule (anticonvulsants and glucocorticoids).
It is also advisable to perform the Test if the calcium levels are low and/or if the patient has the typical symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, such as rickets (bone malformation in children), bone weakness or fragility and osteomalacia, repeated bone fractures in adults. Finally, the Test is also particularly suitable for people at high risk of deficiency (such as the elderly, hospitalized persons, those who leave little or nothing at home and/or expose themselves to the sun and obese people).
