B 12 AND ANTIGENS CARRIED BY RH POSITIVE BLOOD TYPES

1 Reply

I am looking for the name of the test used to detect level of working B12 as opposed to B12 in the pool?

I am B RH Positive type with below minimum levels of ferritin for the past five years.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) has shown microcytosis and hypochromia consistent with IDA (iron deficiency anemia). Malabsorption dealt with by eliminating foods high in lectins and

segregating consumption of any that can interfere with iron absorption.

Recently obtained referral to heamatologist but will take 90 days. I am not only extremely fatigued but have symptoms that could be related to my RH antigens reacting negatively to B12 absorption by the body.

Your feedback/suggestions would be much appreciated.
