Vitamin B12 test measures the level of cobalamin (Vitamin B12) in the blood, which is essential for red blood cell formation, nerve function, and DNA synthesis. Adequate Vitamin B12 is important for maintaining brain health, energy levels, and proper neurological function.
This test is commonly recommended to detect Vitamin B12 deficiency, which may lead to anemia, fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling in hands and feet, memory problems, and nerve disorders. It is also used to monitor nutritional status, malabsorption conditions, and response to Vitamin B12 supplementation or treatment.
