Why is the test used? The test is usually used to identify the root of anaemia or damage to the nerves (also known as neuropathy). The test is usually carried out after a full blood count; if the test reveals that the individual has large red blood cells, the B12 and folate test may...

To determine folates, vitamin B12 and total homocysteine levels among neonates from mothers of low or high socioeconomic status.We carried out a cross-sectional transversal study comprising 143 neonates from two maternity hospitals in the city of Salvador, Northeast of Brazil. Cord blood samples wer...
Although deficiencies of vitamin B12 (aka, cobalamin) and folate can present similarly with megaloblastic anemia, vitamin B12 alone causes neuropsychiatric disorders. Therefore, replacement of the correct vitamin is essential to ensure a prompt cure. In
Cord blood samples were obtained at the time of delivery from newborns from low (group 1, n=77) or high (group 2, n=66) socioeconomic status. The vitamin B12 and folates were analyzed by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay and by a competitive test using a natural folate-binding protein (...
The elderly cohort had lower vitamin B12 (P less than 0.001) but higher serum and red cell folate levels (P less than 0.001) than our normal reference range (age 18-65 years). Red blood cell folate levels showed positive correlations with nutritional indices and mental test scores. No ...
This cohort study uses data from a nationally representative sample of US adults to assess whether serum folate or vitamin B12 levels are associated with
mental changes, weakness, loss of balance or numbness, pain, and tingling in the arms and legs. A vitamin B12 test can also be ordered as a follow-up if you had an abnormal blood test that suggests megaloblastic anemia, when red blood cells are unusually large and do not function ...
