RBC Folate measures the amount of folate stored inside red blood cells, reflecting your folate status over the past few months. It's considered a more accurate long-term marker than serum folate, which can fluctuate with recent diet.

Folate (Vitamin B9) is essential for red blood cell production, DNA synthesis, and healthy cell growth. This test helps diagnose folate deficiency, which can cause anaemia and is especially important to monitor during pregnancy.
