RBC Folate

Product catalog summary
Overview of RBC Folate:
Red blood cell (RBC) Folate is considered the most reliable indicator of folate status as it reflects tissue stores more closely and is less sensitive to short-term dietary effects. It is used to diagnose megaloblastic anaemia, guide treatment plans, prevent birth defects such as Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) in women of reproductive age, and prevent adverse outcomes like preeclampsia and preterm deliveries during pregnancy. RBC Folate is an indicator of long-term folate status over three months and is recommended by WHO as the only folate marker to prevent NTDs.
Comparison with Serum Folate:
Serum Folate indicates recent folate intake, but a single measurement cannot diagnose chronic deficiency states.
RealMind RBC Folate Advantages:
