Is there any relationship between vitamin B12 and liver? I have B12 deficiency even though I am non vegetarian (homocysteine is normal). My liver report shows indirect bilirubin 1.19, total bilirubin 1.39, and GGT 67, which are beyond the normal range. Is there any connection between the B12 deficiency and liver report? Last year I had acidity issues and the doctor prescribed Pantocid and Refagut 400 for 30 days. I also have excess vitamin K in my test report. I am non alcoholic.

While liver plays a role in storing B12, deficiency is more often due to poor absorption, not liver dysfunction. Elevated GGT and bilirubin may indicate mild liver stress, but not directly due to B12. Monitor both.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test
