VIT D levels

• Vitamin D is a family of compounds that is
  essential for the proper growth and formation of
  teeth and bones. This test measures the level of
  vitamin D in the blood.
• Two forms of vitamin D can be measured in the
  blood, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitam
  in D. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D is the major form
  found in the blood and is the relatively inactive
  precursor to the active hormone,
  1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Because of its long
  half-life and higher concentration,
  25-hydroxyvitamin D is commonly measured to
  assess and monitor vitamin D status in
  individuals.
• Adequate sun exposure is typically estimated to
  be two periods per week of 5-20 minutes. People
  who do not have adequate sun exposure may obtain
  the vitamin D that they need from food sources or
  supplements.

Total Protein Hours Urine Biochemistry

• The urine protein test measures the amount of
  protein being excreted in the urine. There are
  several different kinds of urine protein tests. A
  semi-quantitative protein dipstick is
  frequently performed as part of a urinalysis,
  generally on a random urine sample. The quantity
  of protein in a 24-hour urine sample may be
  measured and reported as the amount of protein
  excreted per 24 hours. Also, the amount of
  protein in a random urine sample may be measured
  and reported as the ratio of protein to
  creatinine.
• The presence of albumin in the urine
  (albuminuria) has been shown to be a good
  indicator of kidney disease in patients with
  diabetes and with high blood pressure. Therefore,
  most of the time the doctor may test specifically
  for albumin, as opposed to total protein in the
  urine.
