- Kidney disease
- Malabsorption syndromes such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease
- Certain genetic disorders
You may also need to take a vitamin A test if you are taking medications that can affect your vitamin A levels. These medications include:

- Weight-loss surgery
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, you may also need to take a vitamin A test to make sure you are getting enough of this important nutrient.

Experts Opinion on Vitamin A Tests
"As a doctor, we use this test to check your vitamin A levels so that you can either top up and optimise your levels as necessary or, maintain what you’re doing if it's adequate. This test can also be used to ensure your levels aren't too high, as vitamin A can cause toxicity levels on higher intake doses."
