Vitamin B12 Status and Hyperhomocysteinemia in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated with Methotrexate and Folic Acid

While plasma vitamin B12 levels were similar between the two groups, high plasma homocysteine is also a sensitive marker of vitamin B12 deficiency. Additional studies should evaluate for the presence of clinical features of vitamin B12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia among RA patients treated with methotrexate and folic acid.PMID:38561045 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2024.03.020 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)
