Frequently asked questions
QHow is Folate Level calculated?
Result = band(Folate (ng/mL)) — Folate is a B vitamin needed for red blood cell production and cell division. It is especially important during pregnancy for fetal neural tube development, which is why it gets tracked separately.
QCan you walk through an example?
With Folate (ng/mL) 5ng/mL, the answer is Result 1.
QWhat do I need to enter?
Enter Folate (ng/mL). The result recalculates as you type, and an empty box counts as zero.
QHow much does the answer move if I change a number?
Changing only Folate (ng/mL) (ng/mL) moves the answer to Folate (ng/mL) (ng/mL) 2.5 → Result 0 and Folate (ng/mL) (ng/mL) 10 → Result 1. The table below lays out five steps.
QHow are the numbers rounded?
Money is shown to the nearest whole unit, percentages to one decimal place and everything else to two. What you see is rounded; the calculation itself carries the unrounded value forward.
QAnything to watch out for?
This is a reading aid, not a diagnosis. Checking it alongside vitamin B12 is needed to pin down the exact cause of anemia.
