High Bicarbonate and Albumin

[KMC21]

Hi,does anyone know if there is any link between B12 deficiency and high Bicarbonate and high Albumin? My son's results have both come back higher than the normal range and I wondered if there was a connection, he is currently on monthly injections and uses a spray daily.

Thanks

There is

study that shows that B12 causes minor modifications in Albumin

study which showed that whilst treatment with B12 could correct low protein levels in blood - but effect reported as applying to eldrerly patients rather than the young

RA and PA often go together so there could be a relationship there, ie RA may also be involved but I'm reading between an awful lot of lines there
