The cost of the test is AED 370.0.

The VITAMIN B12 ACTIVE HOLOTRANSCOBALAMIN test is performed using the CMIA method. It falls under the category of nutritional disorders.
No special preparation is required for this test.
The VITAMIN B12 ACTIVE HOLOTRANSCOBALAMIN test measures the levels of holoTC, which is the active form of vitamin B12 in the body. Vitamin B12 is essential for the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and the functioning of the nervous system.
Unlike other vitamin B12 tests, which measure total B12 levels, the holoTC test specifically measures the active form of the vitamin. Low holoTC levels may indicate a deficiency in vitamin B12, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, anemia, and neurological problems.
The test can also help identify the cause of vitamin B12 deficiency, such as malabsorption or dietary insufficiency. It is typically ordered when a person exhibits signs and symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency or has conditions that may affect vitamin B12 absorption or utilization, such as pernicious anemia, gastrointestinal disorders, or certain medications.
Interpretation of holoTC test results should be done in conjunction with other tests, such as total B12 levels, methylmalonic acid (MMA) levels, and homocysteine levels, to provide a comprehensive assessment of vitamin B12 status.
It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to interpret the results of the holoTC test and determine the appropriate treatment or further investigation if a deficiency is detected.
