[1] [13] When B12 levels are borderline or clinical suspicion remains high despite normal B12, additional tests include: Holotranscobalamin (active B12) , which may be more sensitive in early or borderline deficiency Methylmalonic acid (MMA) and homocysteine levels, which become elevated in functional B12 deficiency (note that MMA is also elevated in renal impairment, and homocysteine rises in folate and B6 deficiency) Full blood count to identify macrocytic anaemia (elevated mean cell volume) Blood film examination may show hypersegmented neutrophils and megaloblastic changes Serum folate should be checked concurrently, as deficiencies often coexist Investigating the underlying cause is essential for appropriate management
Healthcare providers will usually do blood tests to check for B12 deficiency in people who have a high risk of developing it
Intramuscular injections offer some benefits over other types of delivery methods, such as oral, intravenous injections into a vein, and subcutaneous injections into fatty tissue under the skin
