Vitamin B12 and Folate

Vitamin B12 and Folate

Vitamin B12 and folate are separate tests often used in conjunction to detect deficiencies and to help diagnose the cause of certain anemias, such as pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disease that affects the absorption of B12.

Normal B12 and folate levels may indicate that a person does not have a deficiency and that the signs and symptoms are likely due to another cause. However, normal levels may reflect the fact that a person’s stored B12 and/or folate has not yet been fully depleted.
