  Product Description

  The 1,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D EIA kit is a complete assay system intended for the purification of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25D] in human serum or plasma by immunopurification followed by quantification by enzymatic immunoassay to assess 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D deficiency associated with renal disease.

  Scientific Description

  1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) is the biologically active metabolite of vitamin D that plays a key role in the regulation of calcium and phosphate homeostasis.

  Measurement of 1,25(OH)2D is important in managing patients with renal failure, hyperphosphataemia, hypomagnesaemia, hypoparathyroidism, pseudohyperparathyroidism, vitamin D-dependent rickets, granulomatous disease, lymphoma, primary hyperparathyroidism, and hypercalcaemia.
