  2. Folate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folate

    This is a concern because 70–80% of the population have detectable levels of unmetabolized folic acid in their blood, a consequence of folic acid supplementation and fortification. [47] However, at blood concentrations achieved via food fortification, folic acid has no known cofactor function that would increase the likelihood of a causal ...

    Pregnant women should take prenatal vitamins containing iodine. [10] Vitamin D levels vary with exposure to sunlight. While it was assumed that supplementation was necessary only in areas of high latitudes, recent studies of Vitamin D levels throughout the United States and many other countries have shown a large number of women with low levels.

  7. Folate deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folate_deficiency

    A serum folate level of less than 7 nmol/L (3 μg/L) is indicative of folate deficiency; Red blood cell folate testing is not routinely performed, since serum folate is sufficient in most cases, however, if there is a strong suspicion of folate deficiency despite a normal serum folate level, a red cell folate test may be performed.

  8. Hyperhomocysteinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhomocysteinemia

    As a consequence of the biochemical reactions in which homocysteine is involved, deficiencies of vitamin B 6, folic acid (vitamin B 9), and vitamin B 12 can lead to high homocysteine levels. [2] Other possible causes of hyperhomocysteinemia include genetics, excessive methionine intake, and other diseases.

  9. Red blood cell distribution width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_blood_cell...

    Deficiencies of Vitamin B 12 or folate produce a macrocytic anemia (large cell anemia) in which the RDW is elevated in roughly two-thirds of all cases. However, a varied size distribution of red blood cells is a hallmark of iron deficiency anemia, and as such shows an increased RDW in virtually all cases.
