Doctor's Notes
Reviewed by Dr Ramarao Paidisetty — MBBS, MD (Biochemistry) · Reg. No. 21504

Limitations
- ⚠This test may not identify the root cause of a deficiency; additional investigations may be needed.
- ⚠Subclinical deficiency may show borderline levels that require clinical correlation.
- ⚠Reference ranges vary by age, sex, pregnancy status and laboratory.
- ⚠No single biomarker perfectly reflects tissue stores for all vitamins.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Mild pain or discomfort at the puncture site
- ●Bruising or bleeding
- ●Hematoma formation
- ●Infection at the puncture site
- ●Lightheadedness or fainting
Interfering Factors
- ●Biotin supplements can interfere with B12 and folate immunoassays.
- ●Hemolysed samples may falsely alter vitamin levels.
- ●Exposure of samples to light degrades light-sensitive vitamins such as A, B1, B6, C and folate.
- ●Failure to follow overnight fasting can affect water-soluble vitamin levels.
