Vitamin B12-Related Biomarkers.

Published in: Food and nutrition bulletin (2024)

It is concluded that a combination of a B12 and a metabolic marker, for example, total B12 and MMA, may prove most useful in daily practice. An unexpectedly high level of total B12 is most often of no clinical importance, though sometimes related to the presence of underlying cancer. Measurement of total B12 is of limited value in patients on treatment with pharmacological doses of B12 but may be helpful if B12 treatment is discontinued.
