A vitamin B12 level test measures the amount of B12 in your blood. B12 is an important vitamin for many basic bodily functions, such as brain health, blood cell production, and proper nerve functioning. Low B12 levels can lead to serious nerve damage and deteriorating brain functions.
A number of unrelated symptoms can occur in vitamin B12 deficiency. Clinical manifestations of vitamin B12 deficiency include: Hematological changes, such as megaloblastic anemia (characterized by large red blood cells), and a low production of other blood cell types, which is known as pancytopenia. Types of pancytopenia seen in vitamin B12 deficiency include leucopenia (low white blood cell levels), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), and anemia.
