| Usage: |
The assay is a specific diagnostic marker for methylmalonic acidemias which can be congenital or acquired. The acquired causes are more common and usually found in patients with cobalamin (Vitamin B12) deficiency as a consequence of intestinal malabsorption, impaired digestion, or poor diet. Other causes are renal insufficiency, hypovolemia, and bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. |
