At our laboratory we currently offer a test profile
of vitamin B12, serum folate and red cell folate.
Red cell folate is generally considered to be
a better test than serum folate.
My question is: Is there good clinical evidence
that red cell folate outperforms serum folate
in positive and negative predictive values ?
