About this test
Vitamin A is essential for vision, immune function, reproduction, and cellular communication.
Deficiency in Vitamin A can lead to serious health issues, including night blindness, an increased risk of infections, and xerophthalmia, which can lead to blindness if untreated. Conversely, excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, leading to symptoms like headache, dizziness, nausea, liver damage, and even death in severe cases.
Testing helps to diagnose both deficiency and toxicity, allowing for appropriate treatment.
