July 5, 20187 yr I want to visit Pattaya lab to take a few blood tests. Is there a general blood test to check for vitamin deficiency or what should I ask for ? Thanks.
July 5, 20187 yr No such thing as a general test of all vitamin deficiencies and only a few are easily tested. In addition, deficiency of many vitamins is rare in anyone with a halfway decent diet these days. Most common tests are for Vit D and B12, which are also the more common deficiencies. A complete blood count will detect effects of folate or iron deficiency - it is possible to test serum iron and folate but cheaper and simpler to just do CBC as no need for further investigation if CBC normal
