Materials and method: The study was prepared by retrospectively evaluating the anamnesis and laboratory information of 95 patients diagnosed with acute leukemia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AML or ALL);. Those who had any of the conditions clearly known to increase vitamin B12 levels by scanning their anamnesis and laboratory information were not included in the study. Results: In total, it was observed that serum vitamin B12 level at the time of diagnosis was above the normal reference range insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(>771ng/L); in 36% of the patients. In the survival analysis performed to evaluate the effect of high serum vitamin B12 levels on prognosis, no statistically significant difference was found.
