What is the Folate Level Test?

A folate test determines how much folate is present in the blood. Folate is a B vitamin that comes in a variety of forms. Folate is required for proper growth and the production of red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets. Folate is also necessary for a baby's appropriate development (fetus).

Folate can be tested in the blood's liquid part (plasma). This indicates a person's current dietary consumption of folate and folic acid. Liver, citrus fruits, dark green, leafy vegetables (spinach), whole grains, and beans are all high in folate. Folic acid is a synthetic version of folate. Vitamin tablets and fortified foods, such as fortified breakfast cereals, include it.

Why done? 

A folate test can be used to determine:

Find out what's causing your anemia. Because a shortage of either vitamin can cause anemia, a folate test is sometimes done simultaneously as a vitamin B12 test.

Check for malnutrition or issues with folate absorption (malabsorption).

Check to see if your folate or vitamin B12 deficiency medication is working.

Examine a woman's folate levels to see if she has enough to prevent certain birth abnormalities and allow her baby to grow normally.
