You requested the Schilling test to verify your thinking and nail down a final diagnosis: This patient has pernicious anemia.
Traditionally, a Schilling test is considered confirmatory of vitamin B12 deficiency, which demonstrates poor ability of the intestine to absorb vitamin B12.
If the blood test shows a low vitamin B12 count you may be given the Schilling test to measure the body's ability to absorb vitamin B12 from the bowel.
