The vitamin D3 test is also known as the 25-hydroxy vitamin D test.
Vitamin D is responsible for maintaining the levels of phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium in the body. It also helps in keeping our bones healthy and strong. Moreover, it aids in the development of several tissues and increases the activity of our immune system. Lack of vitamin D can cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. These occur as a result of weakening and deformation of our bones, since they lose their ability to repair themselves. Cod liver oil, fortified milk, bread, eggs, and cereals are rich in vitamin D.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the vitamin D3 test results
Normal Range: 30-100 ng/ml
| Result | 25-hydroxy vitamin D range |
| Deficiency | < 20 ng/ml |
| Insufficiency | 20-30 ng/ml |
| Sufficiency | 30-100 ng/ml |
Low levels of vitamin D3 in your test results could be due to a number of reasons, such as not getting enough sunlight, not consuming food rich in this vitamin, etc. Digestive system problems can also affect your intestine’s ability to absorb vitamin D. These low levels of vitamin D3 can indicate renal disease.
On the other hand, elevated levels of vitamin D3 can be a result of intaking excessive amounts of this vitamin through different sources and can cause sarcoidosis, lymphatic cancer, or hyperparathyroidism.
Depending on your vitamin D3 test results, your doctor will devise a suitable treatment plan and suggest further tests and other necessary actions.
