 One of the reasons that 1,25-D isn't measured may be that it is harder to test. But another reason may be that a high 1,25-D is inconsistent with reports of vitamin D "deficiency." How can patients be said to be "deficient" in vitamin D when one of its metabolites, 1,25-D, is often several standard deviations greater than normal? One of the reasons that 1,25-D isn't measured may be that it is harder to test.
