Cobalamin (Vitamin B12) [Mass/volume] in Body fluid

Part Descriptions
LP15505-8 Cobalamins
Cobalamins, or reduced levels of vitamin B12 may indicate the presence of vitamin dependent anemia. Elevated levels of vitamin B12 have been associated with pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives, and in myeloproliferative diseases such as chronic granulocytic leukemia and meylomonocytic leukemia. Increased vitamin B12 levels appear to be harmless. Measurements of B12 identifies its deficiency. This can arise from: defect in the secretion of intrinsic factor resulting in inadequate absorption from food (pernicious anemia), gastrectomy and malabsorption due to surgical resection, and a variety of bacterial or inflammatory diseases affecting the small intestine.

LP7238-1 Body fld
The LOINC "Body fld" System represents body fluids other than serum, plasma, blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. When a LOINC term with the System "Body fld" is used, the specific specimen source or body fluid type should be reported elsewhere with the result. Where more specific terms for pleural, peritoneal, synovial fluid, etc. exist, we encourage you to use the more specific terms. In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst. "Asp" is used for abnormal fluid collections that are aspirated, while "Body fld" is used for named body fluids, such as synovial fluid or peritoneal fluid, that are not inherently pathologic.
