Does anyone know if my folate is high enough to be diagnosed

with macrocytic anemia ?

I have recently read tonight I could have MTHFR with a high folate reading ?

Big thanks

Surely you need a full blood count for a diagnosis of macrocytic anaemia?

You might look into pernicious anemia. Your B12 is low, getting your methionine cycle moving faster with more B12 will start to use up excess folate.

Not what you're looking for?
