1,25(OH)2D ®(CPT code 82652) Serum 1,25(OH)2D is not suitable to assess Vitamin D status because it is kept within reference limits as long as possible by hormonal mechanisms (e.g., parathyroid hormone for stimulation and serum calcium and phosphate for suppression). Also, it has a short half-life measured in hours.
