What are reasons for an elevated mcv 101.6fl and elevated b12 1345pg/ml. i eat meat maybe once a week. i'm 5'5" 118lb have fatigue and weight loss.

Inadequate digestion: I should start by saying that it is possible to be deficient in vitamin B12 even with an elevated blood test. Common causes of an elevated MCV are inadequate absorption of vitamins in your gastrointestinal tract, excess alcohol intake and other medications. If you have a normal diet it may be advisable to have additional blood work performed to ensure that you are adequately digesting nutrients.
