Vitamin B6 blood test to diagnose deficiencies and monitor levels.
Vitamin B6 deficiency can lead to symptoms such as anemia, dermatitis, depression, confusion, and a weakened immune system. Testing can help diagnose such deficiencies, particularly in individuals with conditions that may affect nutrient absorption or those with poor dietary intake. Monitoring is also useful for people with chronic conditions, such as chronic renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, which can affect vitamin B6 levels. Monitoring can be part of the management of these conditions. Testing can help ensure that adequate levels are maintained, particularly if you are taking supplements.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Vegetarians and vegans (at higher risk of B12, iron, and zinc deficiency). Older adults, as nutrient absorption decreases with age. Anyone on restrictive diets or with digestive conditions affecting absorption. People experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, poor wound healing, or hair loss. Athletes with high nutrient demands from training.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 8–10 hours is recommended for some nutrient tests but not all — check with your provider. Continue taking your regular supplements unless told otherwise (the test measures your steady-state levels). Morning draws are preferred for consistent results.
Biomarkers Tested
3Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is important for protein metabolism, cognitive development, and immune function. Deficiency can lead to anemia and neurological issues.
Essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. B12 deficiency can cause anemia, neuropathy, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. Common in vegans, vegetarians, older adults, and those taking metformin or acid-reducing medications.
Essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. Folate deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia and, during pregnancy, increases the risk of neural tube defects. Works closely with vitamin B12.
