What's Tested
  • Vitamin A

    The Vitamin A Test measures the amount of vitamin A (retinol) in your blood. This fat-soluble vitamin is essential for maintaining healthy vision, supporting cell growth, metabolism, immune function, and proper functioning of the heart, lungs, bones, and other organs. Low levels may lead to fatigue, vision problems, dry/scaly and/or itchy skin, and potentially increased risk of infections. Vitamin A is naturally found in foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, leafy green vegetables, and dairy products, making it important to include these in your diet.

FAQ

  • A vitamin A blood test helps assess your vitamin A level, which plays a key role in maintaining healthy vision, skin and immune function. Individuals with restrictive or limited diets or certain conditions that interfere with normal digestion such as cystic fibrosis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease or prior bariatric surgery can develop vitamin A malabsorption.  

     

    For those experiencing low vitamin A symptoms such as dry eyes, dry skin, difficulty seeing at night, and increased infections, testing can help you find out what your vitamin A levels are, to support your health.
