Serum and red blood cell folate concentrations for assessing folate status in populations

World Health Organization (WHO) · 2015

What this work gives Aellic

Serum folate below 10 nmol/l (stated as 4 ng/ml) indicates folate deficiency judged by rising homocysteine, and below 6.8 nmol/l (3 ng/ml) judged by macrocytic anaemia; the cut-offs are meant for assessing populations and do not apply in pregnancy.

Where this sits in the engine

This work is on the register, but nothing computes with it today, mostly because the feature it belongs to has not been built yet. It is listed so the numbers on the overview do not claim more than they carry.
