pernicious anemia is a vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 requires Intrinsic Factor to be reabsorbed by the ileum. Intrinsic Factor is produced by parietal cells in stomach. If there is some damage or manipulation of parietal cells, which also produce HCl, there will be less of both intrinsic factor causing B12 deficiency and HCl causing achlorhydria.
