Background:
VDI’s Calcemia Panel is a three biomarker panel for the determination of root-cause of abnormal calcium levels. Unlike other similar panels, VDI offers gold-standard test for PTH and Vitamin D, that are not currently available through other laboratories. VDI graphs the results in a visual way that helps for quick result interpretation.
VDI utilizes the gold-standard in Parathyroid Hormone testing: PTH 1-84. Unlike intact PTH (iPTH), VDI measures the entire PTH sequence (84 amino acids) with no fragment interference that is common with intact PTH; particularly the 7-34 fragment which often accumulates in renal disease.
VDI provides patient-specific dosing guidelines for Vitamin D when levels are insufficient.
