What is the Folic Acid Test?
The Folic Acid test measures the level of folic acid (vitamin B9) in the blood. This vitamin is crucial for cell division, growth, and the formation of DNA, helping prevent birth defects and support red blood cell production.
What is a Folic Acid Report Format?
A Folic Acid report presents the measured level of folic acid in the blood, typically in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), compared to the reference range for assessing nutritional status and possible deficiencies.
Tests Included in Folic Acid Report
Test | Description |
Folic Acid | Measures the concentration of folic acid in the blood, helping to identify deficiencies or excess levels. |
Key Parts of a Folic Acid Report
Key Part | Description |
Folic Acid Level | The amount of folic acid in the blood, typically measured in ng/mL. |
Normal Range | The reference range for folic acid to assess nutritional levels. |
Normal Range for Folic Acid Report
Test | Normal Range |
Folic Acid | 3 – 17 ng/mL (varies with age, gender, and individual health conditions) |
Parameters to Consider in Folic Acid Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Folic Acid Level | Low levels of folic acid may indicate a deficiency, leading to anemia, neural tube defects in pregnancy, or other health issues. High levels may suggest excess intake, often from supplementation. |
Guidelines for Folic Acid Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Present the folic acid level in ng/mL for clear understanding of deficiency or excess. |
Interpretation | Offer context on whether the result is within normal limits or suggests a deficiency or overdose. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
Low Folic Acid Levels | Low levels indicate a folate deficiency, which may result in anemia, birth defects in pregnancy, and other health problems. |
High Folic Acid Levels | High levels may suggest over-supplementation, which can mask vitamin B12 deficiency and lead to other complications. |
Folic Acid Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
Folic Acid | Low folic acid levels suggest deficiency, while high levels could indicate excess intake, possibly from supplements. |
