Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Hi B12 levels can be seen in leukemia,polycythemia vera, B12 injection therapy.
If you are not on supplements you must get your total counts tested.If RBC and total WBC count is normal then there is nothing to worry.
It can be due to lab error.Rechecking values can be helpful.
Visit a qualified physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
