VITAMIN A

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