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.
Diagnosis of B12 deficiency can usually be made if low serum vitamin B12 is accompanied by normal folate levels. If the results of the B12 and folate screening are equivocal, combined use of homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA) levels can differentiate cobalamin from folate deficiency.
