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.

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

View allSir, I have been continuously suffering from pain in the back portion of my left foot. After consulting an orthopedic doctor, he suggested a blood test for uric acid and prescribed some medicines. However, after almost two months, I have not fully recovered. Now, my left hand forefingers have also started hurting. I also consulted a urologist, who said my uric acid levels are normal and advised me to get it checked by a neurologist. Kindly suggest the possible remedies for this problem.

What can be done to get cured from this frustrating lower back pain?

I have been experiencing head spinning and numbness for the past 10 days. It started with a blackout after running. I consulted a doctor who checked my blood sugar and blood pressure, which were normal. He also examined my ears, found a blockage, and cleared it. He advised me to take Nurogold tablets and use ear drops. What could be the cause of my symptoms and should I undergo further tests?
