Vitamin B1, Whole blood Blood Test
Item # LC121186
This blood test for vitamin B1 (thiamine) can help determine whether you're getting enough of this essential B vitamin
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is an essential nutrient as it plays a vital role in carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism. Thiamine deficiency can develop after only one month of a thiamine-free diet. Mild thiamine deficiency occurs in pregnant women (increased requirement), in alcoholics, the elderly, and in malabsorption syndromes. Severe thiamine deficiency is a disorder called beriberi.
Whole blood is the preferred specimen for thiamin assessment since plasma thiamine levels show only recent intake rather than body stores.
Instructions
An 8-12 hour fast is suggested for this test.
