Metablastic anemia, commonly referred to as megaloblastic anemia, is a type of anemia characterized by the presence of large, abnormal red blood cells (megaloblasts) in the bone marrow. It typically results from a deficiency of vitamin B12 or folate, which are essential for proper DNA synthesis during red blood cell production. This condition can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and pallor. Diagnosis is often confirmed through blood tests and bone marrow examination, while treatment generally involves supplementation of the deficient vitamin.
