The identified sender is [log in to unmask] --- I notice that everyone seems to think that he was prescribed vitamin D based on this current result, but the way I read it, I thought he was on vitD (before the medical exam) because he had been deficient (? previously), which would maybe also explain why it was measured? Is there a link to the previous exam?

I'd also like to point out that, since this is a result from a NIST-calibrated assay, that it is lower than the value which would have obtained from a DEQAS-aligned assay (by about 10 nmol/L, by my reckoning) Sorry my signature got lost in the previous message Nick Miller, London On 20 August 2014 13:13, JONES Stuart (Pathology) (RF4) BHR Hospitals <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Interesting that he was diagnosed as deficient given (US) Institute of Medicine guidance which quotes levels >50nmol/L as "sufficient for almost the whole population".

I am not breaching patient confidentiality, since these matters are published on line (The President's periodic physical exam. June 12, 2014. Washington, DC: The White House; June 12, 2014.http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/06/12/release-presi dents-medical-exam Accessed August 20, 2014) He was diagnosed with mild vitamin D deficiency and put on supplementation right away - a wise decision, you will all agree.
