Thank you......yes, (from 4000-6000 in the last 11 months) I have been focusing on increasing protein since January. How does that relate to the increase in B12?
This blood work was 8/5/22
ALT:12
AST:17
ALP:63
Albumin:4.4
Total protein: 7.8
Total bilirubin: .3
GFR: >90

Looking at your lab numbers, they are nicely all in the normal range, even the GFR. I only asked about the protein in case there was any correlation with your kidney function but your numbers don’t reflect that. And I know you’re concerned that this high B-12 number is related to your back pain. If there was kidney involvement that might also be shown in blood work but again that’s all normalcy An ultrasound of your kidneys would show possible kidney stones.
Have you specifically asked about the back pain? Have you had MRI or CT scan of your back to rule out any disc involvement?
