Vitamin A, Serum LabCorp

Testing your Vitamin A levels can help identify if a deficiency is causing your symptoms, as this vitamin is crucial for vision, skin health, and immune function.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Dry eyes: Low Vitamin A can cause dry eyes because it's essential for maintaining healthy eye surfaces.
• Dry skin: Vitamin A supports skin cell production and health, so low levels can lead to dry, rough skin.
• Frequent infections: Vitamin A plays a key role in immune function, and deficiency can make you more susceptible to infections.
• Night blindness: Vitamin A is vital for vision, particularly in low light, so a deficiency can cause difficulty seeing at night.
• Poor wound healing: Adequate Vitamin A is needed for tissue repair and growth, so low levels can slow down wound healing.
• Yellowing skin: While less common, very high levels of Vitamin A can cause yellowing skin, though deficiency is more typically linked to the other symptoms.
