  • Title: [Optimal use of markers for cobalamin/folate status. Results from a survey in a group of psychogeriatric patients].
    Author: Hultberg B, Isaksson A, Nilsson K, Gustafson L.
    Journal: Lakartidningen; 2003 Oct 02; 100(40):3136-40. PubMed ID: 14579665.
    Abstract:
    Cobalamin/folate deficiency may lead to neuropsychiatric symptoms. This review summarizes present findings concerning the different markers for cobalamin/folate deficiency in psychogeriatric patients. These findings suggest the use of plasma homocysteine, serum cobalamin and serum folate to evaluate cobalamin/folate status in psychogeriatric patients, whereas the use of serum methylmalonic acid and whole blood folate could be omitted.
