With this innovative test for detection of vitamin D deficiency, you can now easily keep track of your vitamin D levels. The test responds to vitamin D levels below 26-30 ng/ml (about 65 nmol/l), which may indicate a potential deficiency. However, it is important to note that the limit values for vitamin D deficiency may vary between different countries and organizations.
Frequently asked questions:
1. How does D vitamin Det work?
Within medical science, 25-hydroxy vitamin D is the most important form of vitamin D in the body. Therefore, vitamin D vitamin's overall status can be determined by detecting the content of 25-hydroxy vitamin D. A 25-hydroxy vitamin D level of less than 30 ng/ml in the event of a positive result indicates vitamin D deficiency or failure. Vitamin D supplements can be recommended in such cases.
2. When should the test be used?
The clinical use of 25-hydroxy vitamin D is mainly for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of rakitis (children), osteomalakia, postmenopausal osteoporosis and kidney osteopathy. Vitamin D deficiency is also associated with many other diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, diabetes and depression. Monitor your vitamin D levels to determine if you need to take vitamin D supplements. The vitamin D quick test can be used at any time of the day.
3. Can the result be wrong?
The results are accurate to the extent that the instructions are closely followed. However, the result may be incorrect if the vitamin D fast testing gets wet before the test is performed or if the amount of blood dispensed in the sample well is not sufficient or if the number of buffer drops is less than 2 or more than 3. Capillary pipette in the box makes it possible to ensure that the collected blood amount is correct. In addition, due to the immunological principles involved, there is a risk of false results in rare cases. Based on immunological principles, it is always recommended to consult the doctor in connection with such tests.
4. How is the test read if the color and intensity of the strokes are different?
See the illustration and compare the intensity of the T-line with the "Vitamin D Color Card" that comes with the set.
5. Will the result be reliable if I read it after 20 minutes?
No. The result must be read 10 minutes after adding the buffer. The result is unreliable after 20 minutes.
6. What should I do if I have a low vitamin D level?
If you get a negative result, it means that the vitamin D level in the blood is less than 30 ng/ml and that you should consult a doctor to show him/her test result. Then the doctor decides whether further analysis should be performed.
7. What should I do if I get a positive result?
If you get a positive result, it means that vitamin D level is higher than or equal to 30 ng/ml and is within the normal area. Although cases of vitamin D toxicity (hypercalcemia) are rare, they cannot be excluded on the basis of your test result. However, if the symptoms continue, it is recommended to contact a doctor.
