Value of Holotranscobalamin II Measured by RIA in the Diagnosis of Megaloblastic Anemia in Comparison with other Diagnostic Parameters

Abstract

The presence of variations in the clinical signs and laboratory findings of megaloblastic anemia due to cobalamin deficiency causes difficulty in the diagnosis. While decreased serum levels of holo-transcobalamin II (holoTC II) is thought to be an early marker in the diagnosis of cobalamin deficiency, no suitable method for clinical use has been developed. In this study, determination of the value of a new commercial test, holoTC II RIA in the diagnosis of cobalamin deficiency, and the comparison of this test with other laboratory markers were aimed. At the admission, anemia and macrocytosis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, cobalamin levels <100 pg/mL, and holo tc II levels less than normal (<37 pmol/L) were found in 14 (70%), 9 (45%), 7 (35%), 10 (50%), and 19 (95%) of the 20 patients, respectively. After a 10-day course of 1 mg/day cobalamin treatment, a significant increase occurred in the value of hemoglobin, hematocrite, thrombocyte, and serum cobalamin and holoTC II when compared to their respective values before the therapy (P<0.05). But, a decrease in the values of MCV, LDH, and unconjugated bilirubin occurred (P<0.05). It was found that the measuring of the plasma levels of holo TC II has a higher sensitivity and specificity in the determination of cobalamin deficiency.
