About Vitamin K1 Test | Vitamin Deficiency in Meridian
The Vitamin K1 Screen is a blood test that quantifies phylloquinone, the primary dietary form of vitamin K.
Vitamin K1 activates several proteins involved in coagulation, including factors II, VII, IX, and X. Because of this role, a deficiency can impair clotting and may be accompanied by prolonged bleeding or bruising.
Dietary vitamin K1 comes largely from leafy green vegetables, and absorption depends on normal fat digestion. Conditions that interfere with bile production, fat absorption, or the gut microbiome can reduce vitamin K status.
This test is typically ordered when a clinician needs to evaluate vitamin K status in the context of unusual bleeding, malabsorption, or prolonged antibiotic use. Results are interpreted alongside the patient's history and other laboratory findings.
