VITAMIN B1/THIAMIN

The vitamin B1 (thiamin) test measures the level of thiamin, an essential vitamin involved in energy metabolism and nerve function, in the blood. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting thiamin levels, such as thiamin deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Low thiamin levels can indicate malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or gastrointestinal disorders. The thiamin test provides valuable information for assessing nutritional status, diagnosing underlying conditions, and guiding treatment decisions to manage thiamin levels effectively.
