What is Schilling test?
The Schilling test, which involves giving the patient a tiny dose of radioactive vitamin B12 orally followed by a high dose of nonradioactive parenteral vitamin B12 a few hours later, is the traditional procedure for identifying the cause of vitamin B12 deficiency (this aids in renal excretion of the radioactive dose).
How is Schilling test done?
- A dosage of unlabeled vitamin B12 is then administered intramuscularly (IM) one hour after the patient has received radiolabeled vitamin B12 orally.
- The injection is administered to make sure that none of the radioactive B12 attaches to any tissues that lack vitamin B12, such as the liver.
What does it signify if a Schilling test is positive?
- Over the next 24 hours, you will collect a urine sample, which you will then give to your doctor for examination.
- You lack intrinsic factor and most likely have pernicious anemia if the test findings are normal.
- Stage 3 will be carried out by your doctor if the results are abnormal.
