Got some blood tests results in today, doctor wants to see me this week and to maybe run more tests...I just wanted more of an explanation of these results before i see him. My folate and b12 are low which isn't unusual for me.

Total Bilirubin: 27 umol/L (
Alk. Phosphatase: 146 U/L ( 40 - 100 ) H
GGT: 154 U/L (
ALT: 56 U/L (
Total Protein: 74 g/L ( 66 - 84 )
Albumin: 39 g/L ( 34 - 48 )
Globulin: 35 g/L ( 25 - 41 )

12 Jan 2015, Serum B12 And Folate
B12: 148 pmol/L ( 170 - 600 ) L
Folate: 3.0 nmol/L ( > 7.0 ) LL
Comment: Borderline range B12 110 - 170
Borderline range Folate 7.0 - 10.0
Comment: Vitamin B12 deficiency is unusual in the young, but is not excluded. A falsely low B12 level is frequently found in: pregnancy, healthy vegetarians, use of oral contraceptives & other drugs (metformin, anticonvulsant) and folate deficiency. Dietary B12 deficiency should be considered with a vegan diet. Neurological abnormalities associated with B12 deficiency should be excluded. Tests for intrinsic factor & parietal cell antibodies may be of value.
