Description
Lab Test Description

This tests for Vitamin B12 and Folate, which are vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell (RBC) formation, white blood cell (WBC) formation, repair of tissues and cells, and DNA production. Both must be supplied by the diet or supplementation because the body is not able to produce them.

People who are deficient in Vitamin B12 and Folate may not have any symptoms or may present with symptoms of anemia or nerve damage. General symptoms related to anemia and nerve damage include fatigue, weakness, difficulty concentrating, depression, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, headaches, moodiness, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Some people may not have all or any of these symptoms but still have deficiencies. Early detection is important to prevent irreversible damage over time, especially to the nervous system.

Women with insufficient folate intakes are at increased risk of giving birth to infants with neural tube defects. Low levels of folate have also been associated with low infant birth weight, preterm delivery, and fetal growth restriction.1

Generally, people who are the most likely to have a deficiency of one or both vitamins have:

  • Problems absorbing the vitamins
  • Poor or restricted nutritional intake
  • Interference from a medication they are taking
  • Increased energy requirements (eg, pregnancy)

This test may be appropriate for those who:

  • Have a disorder that causes decreased absorption of certain vitamins or minerals
  • Are at risk for gastrointestinal absorption problems such as celiac disease, Crohn disease, partial bowel removal, pernicious anemia, atrophic gastritis
  • Have a diet low in vitamin B12-rich foods (dairy, eggs, fish, poultry, or red meat) and/ or folate (folic acid/ B9)-rich foods (beans and peas, citrus fruits, fortified cereals and breads, leafy green vegetables, or yeast)
  • Are pregnant or nursing
  • Are 65 years and older
  • Are a recent alcohol abuser
  • Are taking certain medications: metformin for diabetes, long term use of antacid drugs (proton pump inhibitor and H2 blockers), phenytoin, methotrexate, chloramphenicol, and sulfa antibiotics

The Vitamin B12 and Folate Test does not require fasting.
