This test is an advanced laboratory package of 14 tests that investigate the cause of forgetfulness.
Forgetfulness may seem normal most of the time, but with advancing age it can become a concern. It can occur as a result of certain diseases in the body or hormone deficiencies and vitamin deficiencies. Forgetfulness is one of the most common symptoms of diseases such as Alzheimer’s, dementia and depression.
If you are experiencing forgetfulness problems such as not remembering people, asking the same question over and over again, forgetting addresses, confusing times, and losing your bearings, forgetfulness may be a problem that needs to be taken seriously.
With the forgetfulness package you can measure your hormone, vitamin and blood levels. You can take a step towards solving the problems that can cause forgetfulness.
The Vitamin D test measures the level of vitamin D in the blood. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the body, which is necessary for the maintenance of strong bones and teeth. It also plays a role in the regulation of the immune system and cell growth.
There are two forms of vitamin D: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is the form produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight and is the more common form found in supplements.
Vitamin D deficiency is relatively common, especially in people with limited sun exposure, dark skin, older age, obesity, and certain health conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and cystic fibrosis. Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include weak bones, muscle weakness, and an increased risk of falling and fractures.
The test is performed by taking a blood sample and measuring the level of vitamin D in the plasma or serum. Results are typically reported in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). The normal range for vitamin D will vary depending on the laboratory, but a normal vitamin D level is generally considered to be between 30 and 74 ng/mL (75 and 185 nmol/L).
It’s important to note that the results of the Vitamin D test should be interpreted in the context of the patient’s clinical symptoms and other relevant laboratory test results. Additionally, these results can be falsely positive in some cases, so additional diagnostic tests may be needed to confirm the diagnosis, and these test results should be interpreted by a medical professional.
