Lesson on Folate Deficiency: In-Depth Overview of the Causes, Pathogenesis, Signs and Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment. Folate (or Vitamin B9) is an essential water soluble vitamin that is necessary for red blood cell development and maintenance, due to it being required in nucleic acid synthesis. There are several categories of causes of folate deficiency including reduced dietary intake, malabsorption, impaired metabolism, and increased utilization. In this lesson, we discuss in detail the many causes within each of these categories. We also discuss the classic signs and symptoms of folate deficiency, the characteristic findings on laboratory investigations, how to diagnose and what we do to treat folate deficiency. We also discuss why folate is important during pregnancy, specifically with regards to neural tube development.
