Active B12 levels

[Teegan86]

Hi I’ve recently received some blood results and was after some advice.

My active B12 says >128 with the reference range being >35.

My question is if it says I’m >128 does this mean my levels are too high? It doesn’t give a higher end to the reference range so I’m not sure what to think.

The reason I am concerned is because I also had elevated ALT of 61 and I have read a link between high active b12 and liver disease.

Any thoughts

Thanks

Are you taking any supplements? That is the main cause of high B12.

Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?

I have a dr appointment tomorrow, I take a breastfeeding multi that only has 2.6 of B12 in it, so I don’t think that would cause such a high level.

presume you mean 2.6mcg - definitely not a large enough dose to cause the raised B12.

I am afraid you really need to follow up with your GP given the elevated ALT (though not sure how elevated your result would be without the range
