What is included in the Vitamin K test?

It is rare to order vitamin K level tests since they are rarely available. The test is rarely used to screen for or to assist in diagnosing vitamin K deficiency since abnormal bleeding and easy bruising is usually signs of a vitamin K deficiency. A prothrombin time test is a primary test used to evaluate the bleeding (PT). If the PT results are prolonged and it is considered that this is due to a lack of vitamin K, oral supplements or injections of vitamin K are given. If the bleeding stops and the PT/INR levels return to normal, a vitamin K shortage is suspected as the culprit.

Procedure for Vitamin K test

The phlebotomist would first wrap a tourniquet around your arm, then wipe the region with antiseptic; he would then use a regular size syringe to identify the nearest vein and take the needed volume of blood into a tiny container. This sample is then analysed to establish whether or not you are deficient in vitamin K. If you are indeed deficient in vitamin K, your doctor may recommend new dietary changes and vitamin supplements oral or injectable to assist in raising vitamin K levels in your body.
