Vitamin B12 and Folates

This test measures the levels of Vitamin B12 and folate in your blood, two nutrients essential for making red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It helps determine if low vitamin levels are causing symptoms like persistent fatigue, weakness, or tingling in the hands and feet. Doctors use these results to distinguish between different types of anemia and to check for nutritional deficiencies. However, this test alone cannot identify the specific underlying cause of a deficiency, such as a dietary lack or a problem with how your body absorbs nutrients.
