The diagnosis of vitamin A or E deficiency is supported by measuring these concentrations in the body. People with serum retinol concentrations of less than 20 µg/dL are considered vitamin A deficient, and those with serum concentrations of less than 10 µg/dL are considered severely deficient (West 2006).
