Methylmalonic Acid (MMA)

Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) is a compound produced in the body during the metabolism of certain amino acids and fatty acids.

Elevated levels of MMA in the blood or urine can indicate a deficiency in vitamin B12 or a dysfunction in its metabolism.

This test is often used to diagnose and monitor vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to anemia, neurological symptoms, and other health problems.
