LDH enzyme (subtype 4H) is very abundant in red blood cells and heart muscle.
In vit B12 deficiency there is high destruction of red cells in the bone marrow and in the blood vessels. As RBCs ruptures they release their inner content into the blood stream. So that's how LDH goes up in the blood.
An elevated MCV is associated with alcoholism, Vitamin B12 and/or Folic Acid deficiency.
i guess so but then it would be called deficiency anemia because you are lacking nutrition
Yes, vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to vision problems such as blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light, and even vision loss in severe cases. This is due to the impact of B12 deficiency on the optic nerve and nervous system. It is important to address and treat B12 deficiency promptly to prevent these complications.
No. or of no significance for people suffering from B12 deficiency.
pernicious anemia?
vitamin B12

The most likely reason for the development of a B12 deficiency is a dietary deficiency. The development can also come from gastritis or even malabsorption of food.
An elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) in a complete blood count (CBC) typically indicates larger than normal red blood cells. This can be seen in conditions such as vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, or certain types of anemia. Further evaluation would be needed to determine the underlying cause.
In a patient presenting with symptoms of both B12 and folate deficiencies, addressing the B12 deficiency should be prioritized.
LDH stands for lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme found in the body that plays a role in the conversion of lactate to pyruvate during energy production. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood can indicate tissue damage or certain medical conditions.
A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to changes in body odor that make humans more attractive to mosquitoes.
