Were you taking B12 as a supplement or vitamin mixtures when you had that test?

I ask because over 1000 is very unusual for a person NOT using B12 daily. The supplement has to be discontinued at least 5 days before any blood work.

Levels over 1000 indicate some medical conditions may be present.

Some forms of kidney disease, liver disease, intestinal bacterial overgrowth called dysbiosis, and some forms of blood cancer.

Kaiser is an HMO and will have cost features present for any testing. HMOs are highly structured to keep costs down.
