Help please with blood test results.

I think they are ok but just wondering if my Ferritin is enough;

Ferritin 157 (920-291)

Folate greater than 24 ( 3.4) that seemed high.

B12 is high too at 988 (211-911 )

Just told that Vit D is 140.8 with no range.

I am on T3 for hypothyroid.

Thank you

Have you made a typo with the ferritin or the range? Ferritin is showing considerably below range.

If vitD follows usual UK ranges it is replete >75, and not in danger of toxicity >250.

I don't think there is any problem with B12 being over range but I don't know if the same can be said of folate and your folate is so elevated I'd get advice from your GP as B12 and folate are co-dependant.

You,r right clutter it was an error. It should have been 20-291. Thank you for your advice too.

Ferritin is in a good place then

Are you supplementing in any of these?

Just B complex Moggie

[Moggie in reply to Everdean]

Then I don't think I would be taking any more of it as your B12 is over range - what has your GP said about these results.

It was my dietician. she said the same and said I was wasting my money. The reason I went onto B Vits was because I had had a bad rash on my face for years and was prescribed steroid cream which didn't work as well as other stuff. In the end I looked it up on Web and saw that a deficiency in B6 and I think Niacin was the reason. I took the B complex with it too so they would all work together. The rash went completely and has not returned so I thought I would just keep to the B complex as a precaution of it ever returning.

However I think I will leave off all the Bvits unless I think I need them in the future.

Thank you for your interest Moggie.
