Conclusions

The important points to note, about MMA levels for Sample A and Sample B, from these MP results are:

  • Both samples showed very different variations and uninterpretable absence of trend.
  • Increased and decreased erratically above and below the limits
  • Sample A reached a peak, then fell rapidly before re-commencing oral B12.
  • Continued to fall rapidly after re-commencing oral B12
