What is Folic Acid / Folate Test?

Folic Acid, also known as Vitamin B9, is a crucial vitamin that helps the body produce new cells, including red blood cells. It is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system and has a significant role in the synthesis of DNA and RNA. Folate is the naturally occurring form of Folic Acid. Folic Acid / Folate Test measures the levels of folic acid or vitamin B9 in the blood.

Why is it important?

Low levels of folic acid or folate in the blood can lead to anemia, which causes fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Folic acid deficiency can also cause birth defects in infants and increase the risk of certain cancers. Folate plays a crucial role in the formation of the neural tube in a fetus, which is necessary for proper brain development.

A Folic Acid / Folate Test is usually recommended for pregnant women, people with a history of anemia, malnutrition, alcoholism, or liver disease, and those who have a genetic condition that affects folate metabolism.
