Yes. B12 can be low before hemoglobin changes become obvious, which is one reason clinicians often review the full CBC and symptoms together.
MCV reflects red blood cell size, and low B12 can sometimes be associated with larger-than-usual red blood cells.
Yes. Tablets, injections, and fortified products can change vitamin B12 results, so recent use matters when the test is interpreted.
No. High B12 can be seen with supplements or treatment, and it still needs to be interpreted with the full clinical picture.
