Calcitriol 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D : 16558
Test CodeVD125 or 16558
CPT Codes
82652
Includes
Includes Vitamin D,1,25 (OH)2,Total; Vitamin D3, 1,25 (OH)2; Vitamin D2, 1,25 (OH)2
Instructions
Collect blood in a non-gel barrier red-top tube. Allow blood to clot (30 minutes) at room temperature. Centrifuge and separate the serum from the cells.
Alternatively, collect blood in a Serum Separator Tube (SST), allow to clot at room temperature. Centrifuge and remove from the gel.
Note: If sample is submitted with less than 1.1 mL and needs to be repeated, the sample will be cancelled with the comment "TNP-Initial testing necessitated a repeat, but there was insufficient sample to perform repeat".
Note: If sample is submitted with less than 1.1 mL and needs to be repeated, the sample will be cancelled with the comment "TNP-Initial testing necessitated a repeat, but there was insufficient sample to perform repeat".

Clinical Significance
This test measures the bioactive form of vitamin D. It is used in the differential diagnosis of hypocalcemia and to monitor patients with renal osteodystrophy or chronic renal failure. This test is not suitable for diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency and monitoring supplementation in most patients. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D test is the recommended test for those purposes
