Experiences with

Intrinsic factor test

I have recently had the result of an Intrinsic Factor test. The normal range is listed as between 0 - 6 u/mL Mine was 480 u/mL Is anyone able to advise the relevance of this please as it appears quite extreme. Thanks

I asked about b12 but was told normal range( 260), I begged for intrinsic factor test and it came back positive! I had the loading doses then they stopped it, and said 3 months despite me saying nerve pain was still bad, particularly mouth although i ddid have more energy.

hi all, I have been experiencing a number of health issues recently and have had an Intrinsic factor antibody test. Please see photo for result, is this a positive or negative result? I am so poorly and just looking for answers. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated

I know this isn't uncommon from what I've read on here i just don't understand the doctors logic, I think it's because I had a negative intrinsic factor test ages ago, can absorbtion issues still be a problem even if I don't have PA?

Hi, I've had one Intrinsic factor test before which came in under range. I know its a test that can take a few times to show up.pisitive & kick myself for not trying it again before this loading dose.

I had a blood test and got the result today - I haven't a clue what this means?? Any ideas? Intrinsic factor antibody level Intrinsic factor antibody level < 0.5 U/mL [0.0 - 6.9]; Negative <7 Equivocal 7 - 10 Positive >10 I can't even work out which part of the above is the result? I receive B12

recently had the Intrinsic Factor Antibody test and Paretal antibody test. IF antibody was unequivocal and the Paretal AB test was positive. Ii was immediately diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia. It took 3 years to get diagnosed.

I had injections for a year and at some point during that year they did the intrinsic factor test, which was negative. So as far as my doctor thinks that means my problem is dietary despite my telling her I'm closer to a carnivore than a vegan.

Hi, In May 2021 I had the intrinsic factor blood test and my results were as follows. 89 u/ml. With a normal range of 0-24 u/ml. And the following notes.

Factor, he said there was no indication this could be Pernicious Anaemia.

Hi, my GP recently stopped my B12 injections which I have been having every 3 months for the past year as my intrinsic factor test was negative.

I've had major stomach issues forever. I'll spare you the detail, but it's changed and gotten significantly worse since I started b12 injections 2 years ago. I have found a few things that help but nothing cured. The issues have turned into just straight up pain. Like stabbing, throbbing, wrapping around

hi everyone, I’ve finally got all my results back. So have haematocrit of 0.457 slightly high MCV 101.1 (showing enlarged red blood cells) Active B12 low (34.3 pool/l) Intrinsic factor antibodies negative Gastric parietal cell antibodies negative Any advice on next steps would be appreciated

So thankful for your help…I’m so pleased today I had a lovely email from PAS …I’ve got a appointment tomorrow with my gp to start from the beginning (we shall see).. …Im thinking ifab test for PA is either positive or negative no abnormal -satisfactory as mine has wrote in between …but have also

can anyone tell me what 34.3 pmol/L means. This is my B12 reading from a recent test but everything online is in pg/ml so I’m not sure how low this is. I’m advised to check my full blood count an intrinsic factor antibodies. Any advise would be very much appreciated

Very low B12, below limits of the test, but no antigens to intrinsic factor and negative on caeleac disease. Cant fault the GP but feels very limited what they will provide, essentially case closed 3-monthly b12.

Hi all! So following my Medichecks results I made an appointment to see my GP. Medichecks put on my report that my folate was low at 8 (range 7-35) but they count 7-13 as being deficient. My active b12 was 53.6. Medichecks suggested I get an MMA test as my result although in range is at the lower

I was diagnosed with Pernicious Anaemia in 2018 but was not aware that I needed injections for it, so took oral supplements instead. I switched GP's a few years ago and asked for injections when I became aware that they were necessary. The GP I spoke to did not accept that I have PA, because my labs

I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was.
