VITAMIN K

The vitamin K test measures the level of vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin involved in blood clotting and bone health, in the blood. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting vitamin K levels, such as vitamin K deficiency or toxicity. Low vitamin K levels can indicate malnutrition, malabsorption, or liver disease, while elevated levels suggest excessive supplementation. The vitamin K test provides valuable information for assessing nutritional status, diagnosing underlying conditions, and guiding treatment decisions to manage vitamin K levels effectively.
