Test Overview & Why It Matters
The Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) test precisely measures riboflavin levels in blood plasma using advanced LC‑MS/MS technology. Riboflavin is essential for energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system health. This test helps diagnose hidden deficiencies, monitor dietary intake, and guide supplementation under clinical supervision. يقيس فحص فيتامين ب2 (الريبوفلافين) بدقة مستويات هذا الفيتامين في البلازما باستخدام تقنية LC‑MS/MS الحديثة.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A symptomatic riboflavin deficiency can be subtle – cracks at the corners of the mouth, a sore throat, or unexplained fatigue.
Our LC‑MS/MS assay gives you absolute certainty so we can correct the imbalance safely.
I always stress that a test result is only one piece of the puzzle; together we’ll build a full clinical picture.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License: 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Riboflavin supplements may interact with certain antipsychotics or antibiotics.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Known hypersensitivity to riboflavin or any component of the collection kit; inability to provide informed consent (minors require guardian consent per CDS Law 2026).
- Exclusion: Recent (less than 24 h) intake of vitamin B2 supplements or high‑dose multivitamins.
- Red Flag: If you experience sudden muscle weakness, vision changes, hearing loss, or difficulty breathing, call 998 immediately – these may indicate a rare neurological emergency unrelated to routine deficiency.
2026 Medical Coding & Diagnostic References
ICD‑10‑CM Codes: E53.0 (Riboflavin deficiency), Z13.2 (Encounter for screening for nutritional disorders), Z15.89 (Genetic susceptibility to other disease – for rare transporter variants).
LOINC: 2939-3 — Riboflavin [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma.
Methodology: Liquid Chromatography‑Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC‑MS/MS), the 2026 reference method for vitamin quantification.
Pre‑test Patient Instructions
- Overnight fasting (10–12 hours) is mandatory. Only plain water is allowed.
- Avoid any vitamin supplements, especially B‑complex, for at least 24 hours before collection.
- Specimen: 2 mL plasma from a lavender‑top (EDTA) tube. The sample must be wrapped in aluminium foil immediately after draw to protect from light.
- Plasma must be separated from cells within 3 hours, transferred to a light‑protected plastic transport vial, frozen, and shipped frozen. Do not thaw.
- A duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form (Form 35) is mandatory.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: What is the Vitamin B2 Riboflavin test used for? ما هو فحص فيتامين ب2 (ريبوفلافين)؟
Our LC‑MS/MS test safely and precisely quantifies plasma riboflavin to diagnose deficiency and guide supplementation. It is indicated when clinical signs such as angular stomatitis, glossitis, seborrheic dermatitis, or persistent fatigue are present. The also monitors treatment response in patients on riboflavin therapy. يستخدم هذا الفحص لقياس مستوى الريبوفلافين بدقة في البلازما لتشخيص نقص فيتامين ب2 وتوجيه المكملات الغذائية.
Q: Why do I need to fast and protect the sample from light? لماذا أحتاج للصيام وحماية العينة من الضوء؟
Fasting avoids dietary riboflavin fluctuation, while foil wrapping stops photodegradation, both crucial for LC‑MS/MS accuracy. Even brief light exposure can destroy riboflavin, leading to falsely low results. Our cold‑chain logistics ensure your sample remains light‑protected from collection to laboratory analysis. الصيام ولف الأنبوب بورق الألمنيوم يمنعان تداخل الغذاء وتفكك الريبوفلافين الحساس للضوء، مما يضمن دقة النتائج.
Q: How do I interpret low riboflavin results and what are next steps? كيف أفسر النتائج المنخفضة وما هي الخطوات التالية؟
Low riboflavin results suggest deficiency; a DHA‑licensed doctor must interpret with symptoms and dietary history. Your physician will decide if supplementation is needed and, if so, the appropriate dose. Never self‑supplement beyond recommended limits without professional guidance, as excess is excreted but may mask other B‑vitamin imbalances. انخفاض الريبوفلافين يشير إلى نقص؛ يجب على طبيب مرخص من هيئة الصحة بدبي تقييمه مع الأعراض والتاريخ الغذائي.
