elevated B12 levels...

Does hepatitis cause elevated B12 levels? I noticed that my b12 levels have increased over the years.
Here are my results:

November 2013
Vitamin b12 - 1241 high (normal 211-911)

January 2013
Vitaminb12 - 1009 high (normal 211-911)

September 2012
Vitamin b12 - 689 (normal 211-911)

August 2012
Vitamin b12 - 900 (normal 211-946)

June 2012
Vitamin b12 - 844 (normal 211-946)

September 2010
Vitamin b12 - 746 (normal 207-964)

Found this for you.

Cirrhosis

Elevated levels of B12 can be caused by cirrhosis, scarring of the liver. Decreased liver function corresponds to elevated B12 levels because the liver cannot maintain B12 properly and the remainder is dispersed throughout the body. A 2003 study published in "Clinical Biochemistry" by Amphia Hospital in lokatie Langendijk, Breda, Netherlands, found the correlation between high B12 levels and people with cirrhosis. According to the Amphia Hospital study, "elevated levels are caused by cobalamin release during hepatic cytolysis and/or decreased cobalamin clearance by the affected liver."
