Q&A

Helps you know your test better

What is the use of the Folate serum test in Delhi?

The folic acid test determines the cause of anemia, malnutrition, and folic acid absorption difficulties. Also, it checks if folic acid medicines are working and examines if folic acid levels are sufficient to prevent birth abnormalities and enable the baby to grow normally.

What happens during a folate lab test in Delhi?

The phlebotomist will place an elastic band on the upper arm to restrict blood flow. Then the sample is drawn, and the cotton wool is placed on the site of the injection.

What happens in case of low folic acid levels?

Low folic acid signifies alcohol issues, dietary problems, or eating disorders like anorexia nervosa. It signifies celiac disease, liver illness, sprue, or Crohn’s disease. It is recommended to seek medical advice from a specialist.

What does a high folic acid test signify?

The high amount of folic acid results from consuming high folate or folic acid-rich diet, vitamins, and folic acid supplements. Excess intake may cause high amounts of unmetabolized folic acid in the blood.
