Hello and welcome to HCM,
High levels of vitamin B 12 are seen in some disease states.
Raised B 12 levels is seen in liver diseases, protein energy malnutrition and leukemias- acute and chronic.
However, this does not imply that you are suffering from these diseases.
A clinical correlation needs to be done to know the cause of raised B 12 levels.
Thanks and take care
