Today our
department stopped performing red cell folate assays. This decision has
been taken following on from review of the clinical utility of the RCF test in
comparison with serum folate assay.
Now I was
always of the opinion that serum folate just showed you how much folate was in
your last meal whereas red cell folate gave you a reflection of folate intake
over the last few months. It would seem that opinion has changed.
One lives and learns...
