Low folate but high B12

[Pollyerrington]

Hi,

I've had my blood test results back today. My B12 is great at 672 ng/L (180 - 700ng/L)

but my folate is a bit low at 7.7 ug/L (4.6 - 18.7ug/L)

Any ideas on whether this combo is normal? should I just take a folate supplement?

I also have low MCH, low ferritin, and low Haematocrit.

TSH is also rising and is now 3.54...

Vit D is 51.7 nmol/L

It also looks like I might have a kidney issue too, and I've heard anemia is a regular symptom of this.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks.

Yes, I eat a fair amount of leafy veg - spinach and spring greens

Your folate isn't deficient - and is probably okay for you - suggest that you get the kidney problem and the iron sorted out and then see what symptoms you are left with and follow up at that point
