Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Okay, so the lab that we used to do the majority of our bloodwork is not able to do RBC transketolase. What would you recommend? Finding a different lab, if possible? Or waiting a longer period of time before checking serum thiamin again? Or going by the patien't symptoms? I've looked at the ASMBS guildelines for treating thiamin deficiency...if I read correctly, it recommends 20-30 mg orally daily. Where do you find this dose? The smallest dose I can find (I've checked Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage, GNC and Walmart) is 100 mg.
