Due to the fact that Schilling reagent is extremely difficult and costly to obtain at the current time, we would like to remind you that newer testing capabilities are available and equally effective in the diagnosis of pernicious anemia. Please refer to algorithm #37 (Pernicious Anemia) published in the RLA Physician Letter, Volume 4, Issue 2, published May 1999 for additional information.
