The potential importance of a vitamin B
12
assay as a possible earlymarker in the working diagnosis of malignancy
and blood disorders
Abdou Deyab
Al Hayat International Hospital, Oman
Hypercobalaminemia (high serum vitamin B
12
levels) is a frequent and underestimated anomaly. The most obvious cause of an
elevated vitamin B
12
level is taking too much of the vitamin in the form of supplements. On the other hand, the etiological profile
of high serum cobalamin predominantly encompasses severe disease entities for which early diagnosis is critical for prognosis.
These entities are essentially comprised of solid neoplasms, hematological malignancies and liver and kidney disease. Vitamin B
12
is generally not considered toxic in high levels, but it's important to determine if the elevation is due to excess vitamin supplements
since other causes of a high vitamin B
12
level are usually serious. This review reflects the potential importance of the vitamin B
12
assay as an early diagnostic marker of these diseases.
