low B12 - high RBC folate HELP!

[suem3]

Does anyone have low B12 and high RBC folate? My B12 is 290 and my RBC folate is 1499. My provider thinks this is of little concern. I have tried researching on line - but have found little written about these 2 extremes.

Is there an actual lab test for pernicious anemia?

I have not tried B12 supplements as I do not want my RBC folate to go up.

Any help in understanding would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

you really need to give the ranges and units being used for the test.

Also, the B12 is in range but it is a very wide range - it may well be that that is the right level for you - really the only conclusive way of showing B12 absorption is an issue is to see B12 levels dropping significantly over time.
