Urine vitamin B2 (VitB2, VB2)

Determination of urinary vitamin B2 is meaningful for the diagnosis of riboflavin deficiency. Free riboflavin, FAD and FMN in plasma were relatively constant, and the assay had no diagnostic value. It is often used to determine the amount of vitamin B2 excreted in the urine as a basis for diagnosis. Due to the difficulty in collecting 24h urine, two methods of urinary riboflavin/creatinine measurement and urinary excretion load test are often used.
