Tvit: Was there anything after it? Like B1 or D then it would stand for total vitamin B1 or total vitamin D You can always call your doctor or the lab and ask as well.

I have been bruising easily mostly on my legs,sometimes on my arms- never anywhere else. I got a blood test and everything was normal (CBC,folate,iron,b12 etc) except vitamin d was low and platelets were 417-so slighlty elevated. ?

A member asked:

When I have complete blood count done, B12 and folate (folic acid) are a tad high, then when a separate blood test is done for B12 and folate (folic acid), both are ok. Causes?

I have off the chart high levels of both B12 and folate, with low ferritin. in a blood test. I was told long ago I cannot process folic Acid well. Now I take it with methotrexate. Could this folic be the cause of these results?

What can cause low HGB (13.9gm/bl) and HCT (39.7%) levels? my iron was normal. folate level (18.6ng) is high, but b12 is normal. my HGB and HCT were low on 2 different tests about 2 or 3 months apart? yesterday my blood pressure was 100/68?
