Intrinsic Factor Antibody Blood Test

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 86340

Looks for antibodies aimed at intrinsic factor, a protein made in the stomach that vitamin B12 must attach to before it can be absorbed from the intestine. When these antibodies are present, B12 absorption fails and a particular kind of anemia develops. The test is used when a low vitamin B12 level or unexplained anemia needs an explanation.
