Description

This blood test measures the level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the active form of vitamin D in the body. Unlike 25-hydroxyvitamin D (which is commonly tested for general vitamin D status), this test evaluates the active hormonal form that regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism, especially in patients with kidney disorders, parathyroid dysfunction, or abnormal calcium levels.

Overview

Overview:

The Vitamin D 1,25-dihydroxy (calcitriol) test measures the active form of vitamin D in the blood. Calcitriol is produced in the kidneys from 25-hydroxyvitamin D, under the regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This form is responsible for calcium and phosphate metabolism, bone health, and immune function.

 

Risk Assessment

Clinical Indications / Risk Assessment:

  • Unexplained hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia
  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
  • Parathyroid disorders
  • Granulomatous diseases (e.g., sarcoidosis, tuberculosis)
  • Lymphoma or other malignancies
  • Suspected vitamin D-dependent rickets type I or II
Normal Range

Normal Range:

15–60 pg/mL (picograms per milliliter)
(This may vary slightly by lab and method used)

 

Interpretation

Interpretation:

Result Interpretation
Low CKD (due to decreased 1-alpha hydroxylase activity), hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D–dependent rickets type I
High Sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lymphoma (due to ectopic 1-alpha hydroxylase), primary hyperparathyroidism, excessive supplementation with calcitriol.

 

Sample Type

Sample Type:

  • Specimen: Venous blood

  • Tube: Typically a red-top or SST (serum separator) tube

  • Handling: Serum is separated and frozen if not analyzed immediately, as the analyte is sensitive.
