BLOOD TEST REPORT
Is there any relationship between Vit B12 and liver?
I've b12 deficiency even though I'm non vegetarian. (Homocystine is normal).
And the liver report is
Indirect bilirubin 1.19,
total bilirubin is 1.39 and GGT is 67 which are beyond normal range.
Is there any connection between the b12 and liver report.
Last year I was having Acidity issues and doctor prescribed Pantocid & Refagut400 for 30 days. Also I have excess Vit K in test report.
I'M NON ALCOHOLIC.

Lver disease could produce enough severe tissue B12 deficits to cause metabolic dysfunction despite elevated plasma total B12. Deficiency in Vitamin B12 leads to destruction of immature erythrocytes within the bone marrow. hemolysis include elevated indirect bilirubin, which can present as jaundice
