Hi naveed123 the number "looks" to be fine depending on the ranges <From -- To> but why are you asking the question?

Do you have any symptoms that you are concerned about?

Why was your serum B12 tested?

People with autoimmune disorders (especially thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Grave’s disease) are at an elevated risk of developing a Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Are you able to eat meat, fish, seafood. eggs, or dairy produce as these foods are the natural sources of Vitamin B12?

Otherwise you might consider a B12 supplement, either tablets or sprays to keep you "topped up".

I am not a medically trained person so cannot comment on your thyroid issues but I've had Pernicious Anaemia (one of many causes of B12 deficiency) for more than 46 years.

I wish you well.

Thanks for your guidance

Is it normal - yes. It's just about spot-on for the average B12 in normal people.

Is it possible to still be deficient at that level - yes.
