Work with Vitamin B12
His work on detection of radio-cobalt-labeled B12 in the urine led to a test for vitamin B12 absorption named the "Schilling test" in his honor. The Schilling test determines if a patient has pernicious anemia, a disease caused by malabsorption of B12 due to lack of intrinsic factor. The Schilling test in a second stage may also be used as a control test for other causes of malabsorption of Vitamin B12 even if it is bound to intrinsic factor (B12 deficiency which is not pernicious anemia). ==References==
