A member asked:

What are the complications of a schilling test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unreliable: Although the schilling test is a classic way of detecting B12 deficiency, it is not as sensitive or reliable as updated blood tests including b12, folate, (folic acid) and the metabolites methylmalonate (mma) and total homocysteine.
