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 Punjab as part of a broader clinical assessment. Reports from Altus Diagnostic are accepted at PGIMER Chandigarh, Dayanand Medical College Ludhiana, Fortis Ludhiana, Max Hospital Mohali, Government Medical College Amritsar, and all other Punjab hospitals.
Who Is the FRAT Test Recommended For?
The FRAT Test is ordered by a physician for specific patient groups. Consult your doctor before booking to confirm whether the test is clinically indicated for your situation:
- Children with neurodevelopmental concerns: Paediatric neurologists and child development specialists at PGIMER Chandigarh, Dayanand Medical College Ludhiana, and hospitals across Punjab may order the FRAT Test for children with autism spectrum disorder, speech delay, developmental regression, or attention disorders as part of a comprehensive diagnostic panel.
- Children with unexplained neurological findings: When standard investigations are inconclusive for a child with neurological symptoms, the FRAT Test may be included in the investigation panel by the treating neurologist or paediatric specialist.
- Women with obstetric history concerns: Gynaecologists across Punjab — in Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and other cities — may order the FRAT Test for women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, prior pregnancy complications, or inadequate response to prescribed folic acid. Always consult your gynaecologist before booking.
- Patients referred by functional medicine or integrative physicians: Functional medicine practitioners in Punjab order the FRAT Test as part of metabolic and nutritional assessment for patients with complex or unexplained chronic conditions.
- Punjab families in smaller cities and towns: Families in Bathinda, Phagwara, Pathankot, Hoshiarpur, Moga, Firozpur, Fatehgarh Sahib, Sangrur, Barnala, and other smaller Punjab cities often cannot access the FRAT Test locally. Altus Diagnostic delivers certified home blood collection to all of them.
