What Is the FRAT Test?
The FRAT Test (Folic Receptor Antibody Test) is a physician-ordered specialised blood test that evaluates the status of folate receptor antibodies in the blood. These specific antibodies, when elevated, can interfere with how folate is utilised at a cellular level — even when standard blood folate counts appear normal. The result is interpreted by the patient's treating physician, who determines the appropriate clinical course.
The FRAT Test is a diagnostic investigation — not a pharmaceutical product. It is ordered by paediatric neurologists, child development specialists, gynaecologists and other physicians across Kerala as part of a comprehensive clinical assessment. Altus Diagnostic's report is accepted at all major Kerala hospitals including AIIMS Thiruvananthapuram, Amrita Institute Kochi, KIMS Hospital Thiruvananthapuram, Aster Medcity Ernakulam, Government Medical College Kozhikode, Government Medical College Thrissur, Lakeshore Hospital Kochi, Baby Memorial Hospital Kozhikode and PVS Memorial Hospital Kochi.

What Does the FRAT Test Measure?
The FRAT Test specifically evaluates the presence and titre of folate receptor antibodies (FRA) in the blood. These antibodies target folate receptors and can affect how folate crosses certain biological barriers in the body. The test requires a blood sample only; no cerebrospinal fluid sampling is needed.
The test result is reported as the titre. The treating physician — paediatric neurologist, child development specialist, neonatologist or another qualified clinician — interprets the result in the context of the child's full clinical picture and determines whether and how to proceed clinically.
Who Is Referred for the FRAT Test in Kerala?
Physicians across Kerala refer patients for the FRAT Test as part of a structured diagnostic workup. Common clinical contexts include children under evaluation by paediatric neurologists, developmental paediatricians and child development specialists at Kerala's leading hospitals. The test is ordered by a physician and the result is managed by that physician.
Kerala families — known for their high health awareness — are increasingly well-informed about specialised diagnostic investigations ordered by their physicians. Altus Diagnostic provides a report that meets the standards required by physicians at AIIMS Thiruvananthapuram, Amrita Institute, KIMS, Aster Medcity, Govt Medical Colleges and all other Kerala hospitals.
