Vitamin D Test Price in Delhi — Rates, Normal Range & Treatment Cost
Vitamin D (25-OH) test price in South Delhi: ₹1,200–₹1,800, or ₹2,800–₹3,800 as a full fatigue panel with B12, CBC and ferritin. No fasting, home collection included, and the result interpreted alongside calcium, thyroid and iron studies by Dr. Sanjay Sachdev (MBBS, MNAMS).
Deficiency below 20 ng/mL, insufficiency 20–29, sufficient 30–60, potential toxicity above 100. In Delhi, low readings are the rule rather than the exception — which means the important clinical question is not whether your level is low but whether it explains your symptoms, and whether calcium, PTH or bone density need checking too.
Correction and maintenance
Typical correction is 60,000 IU weekly for 6–8 weeks, then a maintenance dose based on your body weight, sun exposure and gut absorption. Retest once at 8–12 weeks to confirm the response, then annually. Very high levels are not better — above 100 ng/mL risks hypercalcaemia, so unsupervised long-term high-dose sachets are a real hazard.
Why vitamin D alone is often the wrong single test
Fatigue, body ache, hair loss and low mood are shared symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism and undiagnosed diabetes. Testing only vitamin D returns a low number, prompts a sachet, and leaves the real cause running. The panel approach costs a little more once and avoids months of unproductive supplementation.
Preparation and reporting
No fasting, any time of day. Pause high-dose biotin for 48 hours. Report recent vitamin D sachets. Reports arrive within 24 hours on WhatsApp, followed by a review consultation at Friends Colony East or Maharani Bagh at no additional charge.

Frequently asked
8 answers
What is the vitamin D test price in Delhi?+
A 25-hydroxy vitamin D test costs ₹1,200–₹1,800 at NABL-accredited labs in South Delhi. Bundled with vitamin B12, CBC and ferritin as a fatigue panel it works out to ₹2,800–₹3,800 including home collection and a physician review.
Which vitamin D test should I ask for?+
25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH-D) — this is the storage form and the only test that reflects your status. The 1,25-dihydroxy (calcitriol) test costs more and is reserved for specific calcium or parathyroid problems; ordering it routinely wastes money and misleads.
Do I need to fast for a vitamin D test?+
No fasting is required, and it can be drawn at any time of day. Stop high-dose biotin supplements for 48 hours beforehand as they can distort the assay. If you have taken a weekly 60,000 IU sachet in the last few days, mention it — recent dosing raises the reading.
What is a normal vitamin D level?+
Below 20 ng/mL is deficiency, 20–29 ng/mL is insufficiency, 30–60 ng/mL is the sufficient range, and above 100 ng/mL raises concern for toxicity. Most adults in Delhi test between 10 and 25 ng/mL because of limited sun exposure, air quality and indoor work.
How often should vitamin D be retested, and what does that cost?+
Retest once, about 8–12 weeks after finishing a correction course — roughly ₹1,200–₹1,800. After that, annually is enough for most people. Repeating it every two or three months on a maintenance dose adds cost without changing the plan.
Is home sample collection included?+
Yes, at no extra charge, across Friends Colony, New Friends Colony, Maharani Bagh, Defence Colony, Greater Kailash, Lajpat Nagar, Kalkaji, Nizamuddin, Saket, Vasant Kunj and Noida.
What does vitamin D treatment cost after the test?+
Correction is inexpensive: weekly 60,000 IU sachets for 6–8 weeks cost about ₹200–₹500 in total, followed by a maintenance dose of ₹100–₹250 a month. Calcium and magnesium are added only when indicated — routine calcium for everyone is not evidence-based.
Should vitamin D be tested along with anything else?+
When the complaint is fatigue, body ache or hair loss, testing vitamin D alone frequently gives a partial answer. Dr. Sachdev usually pairs it with CBC, ferritin, vitamin B12, TSH and calcium — because iron deficiency and thyroid disease cause the same symptoms and are often the real driver.
