Vitamin B12 Test in Mandi Bahauddin
For tingling hands and feet, memory problems, mouth ulcers and anaemia that does not improve with iron.
Why this test is done
Vitamin B12 deficiency causes a very particular set of complaints: pins and needles in the hands and feet, a sore tongue, poor concentration, and an anaemia that iron tablets will not fix. It is common in vegetarian diets, after long-term use of metformin or antacids, and in older adults. Left untreated for years it can damage nerves permanently, so testing early is worth it.
What is included
- Serum vitamin B12
- CBC with red cell indices (recommended)
- Serum folate (on request)

Frequently asked questions
Why is my anaemia not improving with iron tablets?
Because not all anaemia is iron deficiency. A high MCV on your CBC points towards B12 or folate deficiency instead — worth checking before you continue iron for months.
