Overview of the Vitamin C Test
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for certain bodily functions in human beings. It is required for healthy vision, bone formation, proper functioning of the immune system, and reproduction. A lack of vitamin A mainly affects one’s night vision and causes severe damage to the eyes, leading to blindness sometimes. However, low levels of vitamin A are also associated with infertility and several other health conditions.
Usually, a blood test is performed for vitamin A deficiency diagnosis. However, this test also helps in diagnosing vitamin A toxicity as well, which is a rare condition. Retinol is the primary form of vitamin A in human beings, and a vitamin A test measures the level of retinol in an individual’s bloodstream.
