- Venous blood draw
- Lab analysis of Folate (Vitamin B9)
- Detailed results report
- Follow‑up consultation
The Folate (Serum) test measures the concentration of folate (vitamin B9) in a venous blood sample. This single marker may indicate whether your folate levels support DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. It’s useful for women planning pregnancy, people on low‑folate diets, or anyone with macrocytic anemia concerns.
About this treatment
The Folate (Serum) test determines the level of folate, the water‑soluble B‑vitamin essential for nucleotide synthesis and methylation reactions, from one venous blood draw. Adequate folate is important for rapidly dividing cells, making the result potentially relevant for those trying to conceive, individuals on restrictive diets, or patients with enlarged red blood cells. The laboratory analyzes the serum sample and returns results within the standard turnaround window. The price includes the venous blood collection, folate assay, a detailed written report, and a short follow‑up call to interpret the findings.
