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.

It is critical that you keep your doctor up to date on your current health issues and the drugs you are taking since this might affect the level of vitamin K in your blood.

What do abnormal Vitamin K test results indicate?

Severe vitamin K deficiency can result in bruising and bleeding because the blood takes longer to clot. It’s very rare for adults to have Vitamin K deficiency it’s more commonly found in babies. Because the body requires vitamin K for healthy bone, vitamin K deficiency may impair bone strength and cause osteoporosis.

The normal range for vitamin K is 0.2-3.2 ng/mL, although one source claims that levels below 0.5 ng/mL are related to poor blood coagulation. According to another source, the reference range is 0.10-2.2 ng/mL. Vitamin K is usually not tested as the deficiency is diagnosed by simply doing a blood coagulation test called Prothrombin Time (PT). If the PT is prolonged you would be diagnosed with Vitamin K deficiency.

What is the Vitamin K test?

Vitamin K is essential for coagulation, often known as blood clotting. Clotting is a mechanism that aids in the prevention of excessive bleeding both within and outside the body. Vitamin K is required by your body to create the proteins involved in the clotting process. Your body does not have enough of these proteins if you are vitamin K deficient. Bleeding excessively is a symptom of vitamin K insufficiency.

Scientists also believe that vitamin K helps bones grow and stay strong, but they are still researching this. Vitamin K levels tests are not widely available and are seldom ordered. They are not commonly used to screen for or diagnose vitamin K deficiencies since a shortage of vitamin K is generally identified when there is unexpected or excessive bleeding or easy bruising.

How to read the Vitamin K test report?

A doctor will inquire about a person’s medical history to check whether they have any risk factors for vitamin K insufficiency.

A coagulation test is known as the prothrombin time, or the clinician may use PT test. They collect a small amount of blood and then add chemicals to see how long it takes to clot.

The clotting time for blood is normally 11 to 13.5 seconds. It might be due to a vitamin K shortage if it takes longer.

Before conducting this blood test, people may need to avoid meals high in vitamin K.
