Also known as: CBC, CBC includes Differential and Platelets, CBC/PLT w/DIFF, Complete Blood Count (includes Differential and Platelets)
NOTE: Ulta Lab Tests provides CBC test results from Quest Diagnostics as they are reported. Often, different biomarker results are made available at different time intervals. When reporting the results, Ulta Lab Tests denotes those biomarkers not yet reported as 'pending' for every biomarker the test might report. Only biomarkers Quest Diagnostics observes are incorporated and represented in the final CBC test results provided by Ulta Lab Tests.

The Vitamin D Deficiency Discovery Panel panel contains 5 tests with 60 biomarkers .
For an individual suspected of having Vitamin D deficiency, a comprehensive lab panel is crucial. It not only measures Vitamin D levels but also assess various health parameters that could influence or be influenced by Vitamin D status. This comprehensive approach is necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies for Vitamin D deficiency.
- 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) Test:
- Purpose: This test is the most accurate indicator of Vitamin D status in the body, reflecting the total Vitamin D from diet, supplements, and sun exposure.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP):
- Purpose: The CMP includes tests for calcium, kidney function, and phosphorus levels, among other things. It helps assess overall metabolic health and specific functions that relate to Vitamin D:
- Calcium Levels: Essential for evaluating how Vitamin D deficiency may affect bone health and calcium absorption.
- Kidney Function Tests: These are important for determining whether the kidneys effectively convert Vitamin D to its active form.
- Phosphorus Levels: Since Vitamin D helps regulate the body's phosphorus balance, abnormalities here can suggest issues with Vitamin D metabolism.
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test: ALP can indicate bone turnover or damage, which may result from prolonged Vitamin D deficiency.
- Purpose: The CMP includes tests for calcium, kidney function, and phosphorus levels, among other things. It helps assess overall metabolic health and specific functions that relate to Vitamin D:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC):
- Purpose: This test helps detect signs of anemia and other blood cell abnormalities. Vitamin D plays a role in the production and function of white and red blood cells.
- Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Test:
- Purpose: PTH regulates calcium levels in the blood. Elevated PTH can indicate the body compensates for low Vitamin D-related calcium absorption.
- Magnesium Levels:
- Purpose: Magnesium is vital for activating Vitamin D. It does so by converting the inactive form of Vitamin D into its active form, which is then used by the body. Assessing magnesium levels ensures that there's no hindrance in this process due to magnesium deficiency, thereby aiding in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies for Vitamin D deficiency.
This panel offers a detailed examination of Vitamin D's role in various bodily functions. By providing insights into related health aspects, it helps to diagnose deficiency accurately and guide effective treatment strategies.
