A member asked:
Can folic acid anemia cause bruising?what is the most accurate blood test to check for folate (folic acid) anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No bruising.: Anemia due to folate (folic acid) or vitamin B12 deficiency is easy to diagnosed by examining the appearance of blood cells under microscope (megaloblastic or large cell type) and measuring the level of those chemicals in the blood (test: serum folate (folic acid)). Bruising is not associated with this type of anemia
