Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Their must be different test types for that one -- my one year (surgeon ordered) showed Folic Acid 11.3 (B12 300) My 2 year results were different names and different " what's normal " ranges (different lab) Folates (Folic Acid), Serum 6 ng/mL Normal: >5.4 Deficient: <3.4 Indeterminate: 3.4 - 5.4 My B-12 was up to 469 on that one. I think they do the B-12 and Folate test together - or they are related in the B vitamin family way. My iron came back high and my doctor called to tell me to stop taking any and all Iron Supp's and cut Iron foods -- thing is, I don't, never have taken iron (makes me real sick) Anyway, our Folic is a B related test and if you go to webmd.com and type in " Folate Test " to search on it has articles: http://my.webmd.com/encyclopedia/article/3608.4474 is the main article on " low " levels but it doesn't mention high levels. You may want to search further. Hope this helps... my lab results from early post op to 2 years are posted in the " files " section hugz, ~denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Any of you ladies who are planning on having children watch your folic acid. Spinal bifida is caused by low folic acid.
