Blood samples from 126 menopausal women, seeking treatment for different ailments at a tertiary care, multidisciplinary hospital in Delhi, India, were examined for their vitamin D(3), quantified by 25-hydroxvitamin D (25-OH-D) level. Using a direct ELISA kit, the 25-OH-D levels were measured and were found to be sufficient in 30 (23.8%) cases, adequate in 10 cases (7.9%) and deficient in 86 cases (68.2%). Severe hypo-vitaminosis in menopausal women in the Indian subcontinent ought to be treated with oral or parenteral supplementation. Point-of-care assay formats are needed for quantification of 25-OH-D levels at healthcare centers.
在印度德里一家三级护理多学科医院，对126名因各种疾病寻求治疗的绝经后女性的血液样本进行了检测，检测其维生素D(3)水平，通过25-羟基维生素D（25-OH-D）水平进行定量。使用直接ELISA试剂盒测量25-OH-D水平，发现30例（23.8%）水平充足，10例（7.9%）水平适当，86例（68.2%）水平不足。印度次大陆绝经后女性的严重维生素缺乏症应以口服或肠外补充剂进行治疗。医疗中心需要即时检测分析形式来定量25-OH-D水平。
