Dear colleagues,
Our haematology department is currently expressing some
concerns regarding some of our B12 results that we produced on a Bayer
Immuno 1. We are occasionally finding some low B12 levels <170 ng/L, that
have a completely normal blood picture. I read a report that stated that
the features of anaemia may not be present in some cases of B12 deficiency,
and am also aware of the many conditions that may cause low B12 levels in
the absence of deficiency. I was simply wondering if anybody else has
experienced this problem?
Many thanks.
Aled Lewis
