Vitamin A deficiency can lead to serious health issues, making this test vital for early detection and management.

This test specifically measures the concentration of retinol, the active form of Vitamin A, in the serum. It helps in diagnosing nutritional deficiencies and monitoring the effectiveness of dietary interventions.
