Hi,
Thanks for query,
Usually myeloproliferative disorder in which all blood cells like Red blood cells , White blood cells ,Platelets grow abnormally in bone marrow leads to high levels of B12 as it gives increase synthesis but less clearance from kidneys.
You must contact hematologist to rule out any Liver or spleen or bone marrow disorder.
