Note: This test reflects the active form of vitamin B1 and is used for functional body supply assessment.
What the test evaluates:
- Thiamine pyrophosphate level in whole blood
- Vitamin B1 body supply
- Energy and carbohydrate metabolism condition
Biomaterial: Whole venous blood

- Exclude intense physical activity 24 hours before
Medications:
If possible, discontinue preparations and complexes containing vitamin B1 24-48 hours before
