This test is done to determine if you have too much or too little vitamin D in your blood. Screening of all adults, even when pregnant, for low vitamin D levels is generally not recommended.

However, screening may be done on people who are at high risk for vitamin D deficiency, such as those who:

Are over the age of 65 (both skin production of vitamin D and gut absorption of vitamin D becomes lower as we get older)
Are obese (or have lost weight from bariatric surgery)
Are taking certain medicines, such as phenytoin
Have osteoporosis or thin bones
Have limited sun exposure
Have problems absorbing vitamins and nutrients in their intestines, such as those with ulcerative colitis, Crohn disease, or celiac disease
