What this test is

This blood test evaluates the level of vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, in the body. Vitamin B5 is essential for synthesizing cholesterol, producing red blood cells, and supporting other metabolic functions. The test is typically used when a deficiency is suspected based on symptoms or dietary history.

What it measures

  • Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) — reflects the amount of this vitamin circulating in the blood

What the test involves

The test involves a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm, usually collected at a laboratory or clinic. The sample is then processed and analyzed to determine the vitamin B5 concentration.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if you have symptoms that could suggest a vitamin B5 deficiency, such as fatigue, numbness, or muscle cramps. It may also be ordered to monitor levels in individuals with certain dietary restrictions or malabsorption conditions.

Preparation

Preparation instructions vary by laboratory, so follow the specific directions provided by the collection facility. In general, no special preparation is required, but you should confirm whether fasting is needed.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numerical value that indicates the concentration of vitamin B5 in your blood. Reference ranges differ between laboratories, so your result should be interpreted using the range provided by the testing lab.
