Background:
Vitamin D toxicity is a concern that often shows up in the news due to pet food recalls. Patients who are exposed to high levels of Vitamin D, should evaluate if they are Vitamin D toxic by testing for Vitamin D levels, along with PTH and Calcium levels. The Vitamin D Toxicity Panel is a quick, cost effective way to determine if the elevated Vitamin D levels have created toxicity.
Panel Includes: 25[OH]D, PTH 1-84, total Calcium
Clinical Applications:
- Dog or Cat with:
- excessive Vitamin D supplementation
- exposed to high levels of calcitriol (ie. rat poison)
- potential expose from food that was recalled due to high vitamin D levels
