Abstract

A high serum vitamin B12 level (hypercobalaminemia) is a underestimated anomaly. Clinically, it can be paradoxically accompanied by signs of deficiency, which are related to defects in tissue uptake of vitamin B12. The increase in the level of serum cobalamin occurs mainly in serious diseases that require early diagnosis: hemoblastosis, liver and kidney diseases, etc. This review presents data on the metabolism of vitamin B12 and the potential significance of increasing its level as a marker for the early diagnosis of these diseases.
