Question : Is a reading of 904 for a b12 test serious? What would a normal range be?

Answered by Dr. Vivek Chail (25 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Your vitamin B12 level of 904 measured in pg/mL or ng/L is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin and an essential micro nutrient required for the proper functioning of the body.

If you have a reading of 904 measured in pg/mL or ng/L then it is normal. Normal values are 180 - 914 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL) or nanograms / liter (ng/L).

Please do not worry as your vitamin B12 level is not a concern.

Wishing you good health.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
