Despite the improvement in the analytical imprecision between methods and laboratories over the last years, the reported prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in a given population still depends on the method used. Improvements in quality control procedures, however, will improve the standardization, accuracy and comparability of methods. At present, the analytical evaluation of other circulating vitamin D metabolites (vitamin D profiling) and their clinical utility is, however, limited to liquid chromatography users.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
