Vitamin D3 (25-Hydroxy) Test in Kathmandu

About this test

25-Hydroxy Vitamin D is the gold-standard blood test for measuring how much vitamin D your body actually has — both from sun exposure and from food or supplements. Even though Nepal is sunny year-round, deficiency is widespread because most people spend their working hours indoors, women in many communities cover most skin while outside, and the elderly produce less vitamin D from sunlight. Persistent fatigue, vague muscle and bone aches, frequent infections, low mood, hair fall, and slow recovery from illness are the most common symptoms — yet they often get blamed on overwork. Levels below 20 ng/mL are considered deficient and below 30 ng/mL are insufficient; values above 100 ng/mL suggest excessive supplementation. Doctors typically retest every 3 months while you're correcting a deficiency, then once a year afterwards to maintain levels.
