Test Code LAB0231910 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D, Serum

Additional Codes

Mayo Test ID
DHVD

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Useful For

Evaluation of selected patients with disorders of calcium and phosphate metabolism

 

Evaluation of chronic kidney disease with suspected abnormalities of vitamin D metabolism

 

Investigation of suspected hereditary disorders of vitamin D metabolism, including vitamin D-dependent rickets

 

Evaluation of parathyroid hormone-independent hypercalcemia, particularly when granulomatous disease, lymphoma, or CYP24A1 deficiency is suspected

 

As a second-line test following measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D when clinically indicated

Method Name

Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Reporting Name

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D, S

Specimen Type

Serum


Ordering Guidance


The 25-hydroxyvitamin D test (25HDN / 25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3, Serum) in serum is the preferred initial test for assessing vitamin D status and most accurately reflects the body's vitamin D stores. In the presence of renal disease or hypercalcemia, testing of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (DHVD) may be needed to adequately assess vitamin D status.

Reference Values

Males:

<16 years: 24-86 pg/mL

Interpretation

Decreased concentrations are observed in:

-Chronic kidney disease

-Hypoparathyroidism

-Hereditary deficiency of renal CYP27B1 (vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1)

 

Increased concentrations are observed in:

-Primary hyperparathyroidism

-Secondary hyperparathyroidism

-Granulomatous diseases (eg, sarcoidosis)

-Certain lymphomas

-Rare disorders with increased extrarenal CYP27B1 activity

 

Normal or low 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (DVHD) concentrations do not exclude vitamin D intoxication because circulating DHVD concentrations remain under physiologic regulation despite markedly elevated 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations.
