      Interpretation:
     
      Possible Vitamin B12 deficiency: 35.00 - 50.00 pmol/L
      Optimal Vitamin B12 levels : Over 50.00 pmol/L
      Deficience of de Vitamin B12 : Below 35.00 pmol/L
     
      Reference values:
     
      When vitamin B12 levels are between 35 and 50 pmol/L, a metil-malonic acid analysis is recommended to confirm vitamin B12 deficiency.
      Kidney faiure may trigger an increase of holotranscobalamin levels as a result of its accumulation.
