Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient that is found in a variety of foods, including meats, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables. This test is commonly ordered when a person has symptoms that may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin B6, such as anemia, nerve damage, and skin disorders. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for these conditions.
