Vitamin D by finger prick

2018-10-12 05:18:49
Can vitamin D be checked through finger prick method ? If yes what is it called ? I am a medical graduate currently doing my internship. My grandmother told me that she went to a MS for routine check up and for getting a fitness certificate for a tour and the doctor checked her vit d levels through finger prick and gave an injection for it. I have never heard about the rapid tests for vitamin d. Please guide me for this !
