In the case of pronounced absorption disorders, for example as a result of gastritis or after removal of the small intestine, in Crohn's disease, diverticulosis and the so-called blind-loop syndrome, there is a gradual decrease in the vitamin B12 store in the liver, which can turn into a manifest vitamin B12 deficiency
When total B12 levels are difficult to interpret, measurement of holotranscobalamin (active B12), methylmalonic acid (MMA) , or homocysteine can provide a clearer picture of functional B12 status, though availability and interpretation vary (for example, MMA rises in renal impairment)
