Vitamin b12: It's difficult to evaluate an isolated abnormal blood test without having the results of all of the other tests, even if normal, and having a feeling for the clinical setting, i.e., your other medical problems, medications, etc. I would either return to your doctor for an explanation, or consider HealthTap Prime, after having uploaded the results of all of your lab tests. Good luck.

Need more info: While your B12 level is above normal, that in itself is not a cause for concern. However, sometimes it is high due to liver damage and bone marrow disorders. If these are excluded by other tests, then you can ignore it. See this site for more info on this topic. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003705.htm
