San Francisco weather essentials. In San Francisco, if you donât like the weather, just drive a few miles. The temperature at both ends of the mile-long Golden Gate Bridge can be 20Â°F different. Since a cityâs average temperature for the year is not helpful to travelers, here is a general breakdown of what to expect.
Vitamin D Tests. One of the more common vitamin and mineral blood tests is the vitamin D test. A vitamin D deficiency or excess can lead to problems such as bone malformation, bone weakness and improper calcium metabolism.
This test measures the level of vitamin D in the blood. Two forms of vitamin D can be measured in the blood, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D is the major form found in the blood and is the relatively inactive precursor to the active hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
