All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, elevated B12 may be an indication of chronic inflammation, though B12 by itself is harmless. Wish you good health!

I have been taking vitamin b12 5,000 mcg for a few years now. I had a b12 blood test taken yesterday and it was 2000 pg/mL. Can taking vitamin b12 cause this elevation? Can this cause health issues for me?
