megablastic means enlarged immature white blood cells.
first of all its called vitamin b12 deficiency anemia. Pernicious anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency anemia are the same thing. Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of vitamin B12. You're not able to absorb the vitamin B12 due to the absence of intrinsinc factor.
i guess so but then it would be called deficiency anemia because you are lacking nutrition
Perncious anemia is caused by the body's inability to absorb the vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract, due to a loss of gastric parietal cells. Regular B12 supplementation can keep pernicious anemia at bay, though it is not a complete cure. B12 is a vitamin obtained from meat and dairy products.
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is another type of megaloblastic anemia that develops when the body doesn't absorb enough of this nutrient.
An anemia caused by vitamin B12 is pernicious anemia while deficient in iron is iron defeciency anemia.
Megaloblastic (Macrocytic) Anemia. Basically the Red Blood Cells have a larger volume (MCV).
Pernicious anemia is due to a deficiency of a vitamin called intrinsic factor, which is normally produced by cells of the stomach. Intrinsic factor is required for the absorption of vitamin B12, so if intrinsic factor levels are insufficient, vitamin B12 will not be absorbed well. So administration of vitamin B12 will only help treat vitamin B12-deficiency anemia if vitamin B12 can be absorbed, and this can only happen if there are adequate levels of intrinsic factor to begin with. Patients with pernicious anemia do not have adequate intrinsic factor levels, so they will not be helped by vitamin B12 treatment since they can't absorb it well enough.
No; aplastic anemia is caused by a defective function or disease of bone marrow.Pernicious anemia is caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
* Megaloblastik anemia (deficit of vitamin B12 and folio) * Anemia iron deficit
it is called hypochromic anemia by taking proper iron folic vitamin with b12 you can increase it
Vitamin B12 helps keep your body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia that can make you tired and weak.
