Hi lidulove

You don't say what measure or ranges used but here is a typical set of ranges and you can see there is a difference between the pmol/L and pg/ml

Below 150pmol/L (200pg/ml). This level is most commonly used to signify vitamin B12 deficiency.

Between 151 and 300pmol/L. This covers a range that might be described as the Total B12 “grey-zone” where the true status of the patient is uncertain.

Above 301 pmol/L. At this level it would not be expected to find (much) true vitamin B12 deficiency.

At whatever measure used your level would be considered "NORMAL".

Why was your serum B12 tested? Do you have any neurological symptoms? Was your serum Folate tested at the same time?

Thank you clivealive

It is524 pg/ml . On my last test my CBc was kind of low and I ask my Dr to have me checked my vitamin b12 level so she did and that was the result . And my Cbc is now normal .

CBC gives a large range of results as it includes measurement of a large range of cells in your blood. If your red blood cells were on the small side then that would be indicative of iron deficiency rather than B12/folate deficiency which tend to make your red blood cells larger and rounder.

your serum b12 is well into the normal range making it unlikely B12 is playing a part in any symptoms you are having. If you don't have any symptoms then there is nothing to worry about
