About test
What does FOLATE measure?
This test measures folate (vitamin B9) levels in the body. Folate is important for normal red blood cell formation, cell growth, and DNA production. A healthcare professional may order this test to help evaluate possible folate deficiency, investigate certain types of anemia, or assess nutritional status. Results are interpreted along with medical history, symptoms, and other laboratory findings.
