An Observational study of the Correlation of Higher Level of Serum Vitamin B 12 and Underlying Diseases
Journal Title: Gujarat Medical Journal - Year 2019, Vol 74, Issue 1
Abstract
Vitamin B has recently gained a lot of importance in 12 laboratory medicine owing to the magnitude of effects seen on the homeostasis and normal functioning of the various organ systems. However the focus remains on the deficiency or low serum B levels. 12 We discovered an unexpectedly high level of Vitamin B12 in the laboratory at our hospital in a group of patients and its frequent association with underlying diseases. A follow up and detailed work up of these group of patients (after excluding the patients on therapeutic B12 administration) revealed a significant association with severe underlying diseases particularly hematologic and liver diseases. A statistical analysis of this group of patients was done, and correlated with the available literature and recent studies.
