Re: Increased b-12 in blood/ lab levels

Holly,

Both of my girls have B12 way off the chart to and no one knows

why. I have asked and asked and have gotten no answer. I have found

nohting online either. I can only assume that it is not harmful.

they actually thought would be deficient-obviously not the

case.If you find out why this is please let me know!

Holly I just found this site

has liver disease too so this makes sense to me. Why didn't

anyone just say this? Now, why are my other daughters high?

Holly,

The low creatinine probably reflects low muscle mass. Creatinine is a

breakdown product of creatine, which is an important component of

muscle. Creatinine can be converted to ATP. The daily production of

creatine and subsequently creatinine, depends on muscle mass, which

fluctuates very little. Her BUN/creatinine ratio is high because her

creatinine is so low. When you divide a normal BUN level by a low

creatinine the ratio is usually going to be high.

For my son, his B12 level was high until we added glutathione.

Glutathione is needed to activate B12. All of his B12 was sitting

around waiting to be activated. Does she take a B12 supplement or

have liver involvement?

Elevated anion gap can mean there is metabolic acidosis--either lactic

acidosis or ketoacidosis. Has she ever had elevated ketones or lactic

acid?
