About test
What does VITAMIN B-12 measure?
This test measures the level of vitamin B-12 in the body. Vitamin B-12 is needed for normal red blood cell formation, nerve function, and DNA production. A healthcare professional may order this test to help evaluate possible vitamin B-12 deficiency or excess, or to investigate findings such as certain types of anaemia or neurological concerns. Results are interpreted along with medical history and other laboratory findings.
