Although numerous studies have reported on the analysis of vitamin D status in various groups of patients, the clinical significance of measurements of vitamin D forms and metabolites remains ambiguous. This article reviews the reports analyzing the status of vitamin D in various chronic states. Particular attention is given to factors affecting measurement of vitamin D forms and metabolites. Relevant papers published during recent years were identified by an extensive PubMed search using appropriate keywords. Measurement of vitamin D status proved to be a useful tool in diagnosis and progression of metabolic syndrome, neurological disorders and cancer. High performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry has become the preferred method for analyzing the various forms and metabolites of vitamin D in biological fluids. Factors influencing vitamin D concentration, including socio-demographic and biochemical factors as well as the genetic polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor, along with vitamin D transporters and enzymes participating in vitamin D metabolism should be considered as potential confounders of the interpretation of plasma total 25(OH)D concentrations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu12092788","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,13]],"date-time":"2020-09-13T21:11:32Z","timestamp":1600031492000},"page":"2788","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Clinical Significance of Analysis of Vitamin D Status in Various Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6484-5462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Kowal\u00f3wka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bromatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 42 Marceli\u0144ska Street, 60-354 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9682-1417","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna K.","family":"G\u0142\u00f3wka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bromatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 42 Marceli\u0144ska Street, 60-354 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Kara\u017aniewicz-\u0141ada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Pharmacy and Pharmacokinetics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 6 \u015awi\u0119cickiego Street, 60-781 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Kosewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bromatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 42 Marceli\u0144ska Street, 60-354 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1576","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.118.311585","article-title":"Steroid hormone vitamin D: Implications for cardiovascular disease","volume":"122","author":"Demer","year":"2018","journal-title":"Circ.
