The VITAMIN B12 - SERUM test measures the concentration of vitamin B12 in your bloodstream. Vitamin B12 is essential for numerous bodily functions, including nerve health, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. This test provides valuable insights into your vitamin B12 status

Blood Sample: A healthcare provider will collect a blood sample, typically from a vein in your arm, using a needle and syringe or a specialized blood collection tube.

Laboratory Analysis: The blood sample is sent to a laboratory, where it undergoes analysis. The concentration of vitamin B12 in the sample is quantified

Fasting is generally not required for the VITAMIN B12 - SERUM test. You can usually eat and drink normally before the test.It's important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as they can affect the results.

 

You may feel a brief pinch or discomfort when the needle is inserted to draw the blood sample. After the procedure, there might be some mild bruising or soreness at the site, but this is typically temporary.

 

Normal results for vitamin B12 levels may vary slightly among laboratories, but typical reference ranges are:Normal: Approximately 200 to 900 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL) or 148 to 664 picomoles per liter (pmol/L).
