Background: Adequate vitamin D supply is necessary for bone metabolism and also for the general maintenance of health. 25OHD is transported primarily bound to vitamin-D binding protein (DBP), but also to albumin. Lower concentration of plasma proteins may cause difficulties in immunoanalytics. Our aim was to investigate the protein dependence of the two most often used 25OHD immuno- (CLIA) and protein binding- (ECLPBA) assays.Methods: levels were measure...

The total 25-hydoxy-vitamin-D (t-25OHD) level reflects the supply of vitamin D, but is also influenced by the levels of 25OHD binding proteins (DBP). We aimed studying t-25OHD and bioavailable 25OHD (bio-25OHD) levels in healthy females with different reproductive ages.Methods: t-25OHD, bio-intact parathormone (PTHi-1–84) (ECLIA, cobas e411, Roche), DBP (turbidimetry, Dako), calcium and albumin (Alb) levels were measured by routine methods (Modular,...
