What is Vitamin A (Retinol), Serum?

This test measures the level of Vitamin A (retinol) in your blood serum. Vitamin A is essential for good vision, immune function, and healthy skin, playing a vital role in many bodily processes.

Why is this test important?

Assessing Vitamin A levels helps diagnose deficiencies or toxicities, which can impact vision, immune response, and skin health. It's important for monitoring nutritional status, especially in individuals with malabsorption issues or specific dietary restrictions.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required. Please confirm with your healthcare provider.
