This test is a good indication of how much vitamin D the body has. Thus can determine if the levels of vitamin D are high or low in the body (comparing with the normal recommended daily allowance- RDA, if within the reference range limits). Since vitamin- D is a fat-soluble vitamin, excess levels (in particular) can lead to a condition called hypervitaminosis. Thus it is important because when the levels go either high or low can lead to certain disorders leading to complications.
