What is pernicious anemia? Pernicious anemia is a potentially fatal nutritional deficiency cause by the body's inability to absorb vitamin B-12, which is essential to the body's production of red blood cells. Pernicious anemia is caused by the absence of intrinsic factor, a substance secreted by the stomach. Intrinsic factor facilitates the absorption of vitamin B-12. A blood test can confirm a diagnosis of pernicious anemia, by revealing the presence of megaloblasts in the blood. A megaloblast is a large erythroblast, and an erythroblast is the first identifiable stage in the development of a red blood cell. In pernicious anemia, the number of red blood cells decreases, but their size and hemoglobin content increases. bodyOffer(19807) Because the body stores B-12 very efficiently, it takes years for pernicious anemia to develop and for symptoms to begin to show. What are the symptoms of pernicious anemia? A tingling numbness in the feet and hands ("boot and glove" numbness) is a common symptom of pernicious anemia. It occurs because of nerve damage caused by the B-12 deficiency. Another frequent symptom is memory lossnot a momentary forgetfulness, but actual "erasures" or "holes" in the memory. Left untreated, this symptom can develop into a secondary dementia, which resembles such primary dementias as Alzheimer's disease. Unlike primary dementias, however, secondary dementias can be treated and usually reversed if proper diagnosis of the cause of the dementia leads to appropriate treatment.

What is anemia? Anemia is a common blood disorder, which is caused when there is a drop in hemoglobin or hematocrit in the blood. Hemoglobin is the part of blood that distributes oxygen from the lungs to tissues in the body. Hematocrit is the measurement of the percentage of red blood cells found in a specific volume of blood. Anemia is usually a symptom of a disease rather than a disease itself. Anemia may be a symptom of another disease. The following are the most common symptoms of anemia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: abnormal paleness or lack of color of the skin increased heart rate (tachycardia) breathlessness, or difficulty catching a breath (dyspnea) lack of energy, or tiring easily (fatigue) dizziness, or vertigo, especially when standing

Megaloblastic (Pernicious) Anemia What is megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia? Megaloblastic anemia, also called pernicious anemia, is a type of anemia characterized by very large red blood cells. In addition to the cells being large, the inner contents of each cell are not completely developed. This malformation causes the bone marrow to produce fewer cells, and sometimes the cells die earlier than the 120-day life expectancy. Instead of being round or disc-shaped, the red blood cells can be oval. What causes megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia? There are many causes of megaloblastic anemia, but the most common source in children occurs from a vitamin deficiency of folic acid. Other sources of megaloblastic anemia include the following: digestive diseases Certain diseases of the lower digestive tract can lead to megaloblastic anemia. These include celiac disease, chronic infectious enteritis, and enteroenteric fistulas. malabsorption Inherited congenital folate malabsorption, a genetic problem in which infants cannot absorb folic acid in their intestines, can lead to megaloblastic anemia. This requires early intensive treatment to prevent long term problems such as mental retardation.
