Serum 25(OH)D levels are obtained when the disorder is suspected. Serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels have no place in diagnosing the syndrome and will mislead the physician. Sunlight, artificial light, oral or parenteral vitamin D, or a combination, aimed at restoring circulating levels of 25(OH)D between 50–80 ng/mL is the treatment of choice. Controlled sunlight is the safest form of vitamin D repletion. Vitamin D3 cholecalciferol is the preferred form of oral vitamin D.
I think you have it backwards?
