The prompt diagnosis and treatment of B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    deficiency protects against megaloblastic anaemia, neuropathy and neuropsychiatric changes. Biomarkers of B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    status include the measurement of serum B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    (also known as total B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    or serum cobalamin), holotranscobalamin (holoTC or \u2018active B12\u2019), methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total plasma homocysteine (Hcy). There is no \u2018gold standard\u2019 test for deficiency and the sensitivity and specificity of each biomarker for the evaluation of B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    status is affected by analytical and biological factors that may confer a high degree of diagnostic uncertainty. Limited access to technical and clinical expertise can lead to an over-reliance on the serum B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    test, which is readily available and highly automated. In some cases, the sequential use of different B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    status biomarkers or the calculation of a composite B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    status score, derived from a panel of B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    biomarkers and adjusted for folate status and age, can be used to detect deficient states that may otherwise be overlooked when using a single biomarker approach. This review summarizes the utility of B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    -related biomarkers and describes approaches to their application and interpretation.\n
