About Vitamin K1 Test | Vitamin Deficiency in Clovis
Vitamin K1, also called phylloquinone, is the primary dietary form of vitamin K and a required cofactor for the carboxylation of certain clotting proteins.
Vitamin K1 is found chiefly in green leafy vegetables and some plant oils. After absorption, it participates in the activation of clotting factors such as prothrombin and factors VII, IX, and X, as well as proteins that regulate bone metabolism.
A deficiency in vitamin K1 can prolong clotting time and may present as easy bruising, bleeding gums, or more serious hemorrhage. Risk increases with poor dietary intake, fat malabsorption disorders, liver disease, or prolonged use of certain medications that interfere with vitamin K metabolism.
The blood test directly quantifies phylloquinone levels. Results are interpreted alongside clinical history and other coagulation studies, since vitamin K status reflects both intake and the body's ability to absorb and utilize the vitamin.
