My son had a high level on a B12 test (2000) Before it was 900 he about 6 months ago it was 1200 and now 2000. All other labs were normal. Any other ideas or causes for this high reading. (Besides Leukemias and anemias...) What could cause a false high reading? (Besides taking B12)

there are several reasons that it could be high, sometimes high B12 levels appear in people being diagnosed with cirrhosis (liver cancer) see the link below...

Maybe your son is hooked on b12 like it is a drug
depending on his age...
he could like the fact it increases your heart rate and makes you extremely hyperactive this is possible not a lie.

Did you find an answer? Other than an issue with nutrient absorption, I've been trying to find out why mine is high, too.

He's using a ''wash'' to flush out any drugs in his urine and taking the B-12 to mask it. The B-12 adds color to the diluted urine.
