Vitamin D Ratio

[Spaceclaim]

This summer I made some kind of Neuraltherapy (it is some kind of alternative therapy form) as an attempt to mitigate/cure my RLS.

My practioner checked my Vitamin D Levels in my blood and told me that my ratio of Vitamin D (hydroxylated to non-hydroxylated but not 100% sure about it) points to some kind of inflammation in my body.

Has someone also heard about it and is there some kind of scientific evidence which holds true to that?

Thanks in advance.

The ratio of hydroxylated to non-hydroxylated vitamin D (such as 25-hydroxyvitamin D to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) itself does not directly indicate inflammation. However, low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D have been associated with increased levels of inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP). The C-reactive protein is the best measure of inflammation.

Can you get tests for that protein Sue ?

Yes, via a blood test. It's not uncommon. Doctors usually request it when looking to see whether there is inflammation or infection.

[SueJohnson in reply to Boldgirl45]

As amrob said - Yes.
