    Can a Vitamin B12 test detect pernicious anemia?

    A Vitamin B12 test can help detect pernicious anemia, a condition caused by the inability to absorb Vitamin B12 due to a lack of intrinsic factor in the stomach. If B12 levels are low and pernicious anemia is suspected, your doctor may order additional tests, such as an intrinsic factor antibody test, to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment often involves lifelong Vitamin B12 supplementation or injections.
