Valproic Acid Free Test

The Valproic Acid Free Test measures the unbound, pharmacologically active fraction of valproic acid in the blood. This test helps evaluate therapeutic levels in patients taking valproate for epilepsy, bipolar disorder, or migraine prevention. Measuring free valproic acid is essential when total levels may be misleading due to altered protein binding, drug interactions, or hepatic dysfunction.
