Iron / Anemia
Also known as: MMA test
No common urgent flag from this test alone
This test checks how much methylmalonic acid (MMA) is in your blood or pee. MMA is a chemical that helps your body use vitamin B12.
Doctors often order this test to check for low vitamin B12. This is especially true if the low levels are new or not very bad. The test helps doctors see if your body is using vitamin B12 correctly.
Reference ranges for MMA can vary depending on the lab that performs the test. Your doctor will interpret your results based on the specific ranges used by their lab and your overall health.
