Description

Vitamin A (Retinol) Test This test checks the level of Vitamin A in your body, which is essential for good vision, growth, and cell functions. While high levels of Vitamin A can occur in people with kidney problems, it usually doesn't cause harm. However, too much Vitamin A can lead to bone fractures. On the other hand, low Vitamin A levels might indicate issues with absorbing fats or very rarely, not getting enough from your diet.

What patients is this test right for?

This test might be recommended if you have symptoms that could be related to too much or too little Vitamin A.

High Vitamin A Symptoms:

Bone pain or fractures

Low Vitamin A Symptoms:
