Increased B12 levels

Question

Asked for Female, 71 Years

My father has extremely high levels of B12 1845 pg/mL. In March, his B12 level was 1120 pg/mL. He has diabetes, thyroid, high BP and recently got angioplasty done as there was 90% blockage in one of the arteries. Is this high level of B12 a major concern ? Please suggest what to do ?
