My daughter 14 had a blood test today the nurse said her last bloods were abnormal so the doctor ordered b12,iron and cbc for today. she has been having symptoms of leukemia . could this be why her bloods why abnormal?

Although abnormal blood tests can arise from leukemia, at age 14, anemia or vitamin deficiencies can also produce abnormal blood tests. Follow up with a discussion with your daughter's physician about the details of the abnormalities found.
