Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1985•ElsevierThe vitamin D endocrine system plays an important role in the maintenance of normal
calcium homeostasis. Abnormalities of this system occur in many conditions, such as rickets,
osteomalacia, hypoparathyroidism, and hyperparathyroidism. The diagnosis and treatment
of these disorders will be facilitated if the clinician understands the general mechanisms by
which defects in vitamin D metabolism and action occur. We review this information and
discuss the use and limitations of vitamin D metabolite assays for diagnosis of clinical …
