Vitamin B12, in turn, is necessary for the formation of red blood cells. Anemia is a condition where red blood cells are not providing adequate oxygen to body tissues. There are many types and causes of anemia. (See the general article - anemia Pernicious anemia is a type of megaloblastic anemia Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Intrinsic factor is a protein the body uses to absorb vitamin B12. When gastric secretions do not have enough intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 is not adequately absorbed, resulting in pernicious anemia and other problems related to low levels of vitamin B12. Because vitamin B12 is needed by nerve cells and blood cells for them to function properly, deficiency can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, tingling sensations, difficulty walking, and diarrhea.

Extractions: Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia is more common in individuals of northern European descent. Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia results from a lack of intrinsic factor in gastric secretions (a substance needed to absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract). Vitamin B12 deficiency results. The inability to make intrinsic factor may be the result of chronic gastritis, or the result of a gastrectomy (removal of all or part of the stomach). Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia may also be associated with type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease, and a family history of the disease. What are the symptoms of megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia?

Vitamin B12 is needed to produce an adequate amount of healthy red blood cells in the bone marrow. Vitamin B12 is available only in animal foods (meat and dairy products) or yeast extracts (such as brewer's yeast). Vitamin B12 deficiency is defined by low levels of stored B12 in the body that can result in anemia, a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells.

http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/000569.htm

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Intrinsic factor is a binding protein required for the absorption of Vitamin B12. Pernicious anemia results from a lack of intrinsic factor in gastric secretions which, in turn, causes inadequate Vitamin B12 absorption. Vitamin B12 deficiency results. Vitamin B12 deficiency causes a form of anemia specifically referred to as megaloblastic anemia Other causes of reductions in the level of intrinsic factor (and thus of pernicious anemia) include atrophic gastric mucosa, autoimmunity against gastric parietal cells, and autoimmunity against intrinsic factor. Absence of intrinsic factor itself is the most common cause of Vitamin B12 deficiency. Intrinsic factor is produced by cells within the stomach. In adults, the inability to make intrinsic factor can be the result of chronic gastritis or the result of gastrectomy. The onset of the disease is slow and may span decades.

Extractions: Home Educational Topics Pernicious Anemia Pernicious anemia is caused by an inability to absorb vitamin B12 (cobalamin) that is naturally found in certain foods. These foods are all of animal origin and include meat, milk and dairy products, and eggs. Vitamin B12 is not found in plants. Although bacteria in the large intestine produce vitamin B12, it is not absorbed into the blood stream from this site. Most people need only 2 micrograms of vitamin B12 daily but the average diet provides about 5 to 30 micrograms a day. When it is ingested, vitamin B12 needs to be chemically linked to a substance called intrinsic factor, which is produced in the stomach. In the animation on the right , vitamin B12 is shown in pink and the intrinsic factor is shown in blue. They combine in the stomach and pass into the small intestine where the intrinsic factor helps the vitamin B12 get absorbed into the circulation. Through the circulation, the vitamin is transported to the liver where it is stored, being released back into the circulation as needed. Without intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 is not absorbed and pernicious anemia occurs. Other causes of vitamin B12 deficiency produce the same symptoms as pernicious anemia. Diseases of the small intestine that cause malabsorption may cause vitamin B12 deficiency. Vegans (individuals who consume absolutely no foods of animal origin) are at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency due insufficiency of this vitamin in their diet. But it takes a long time to deplete all the vitamin B12 that is stored in the liver. Even if the absorption of vitamin B12 is suddenly cut off (for example, as in gastrectomy, surgical removal of the stomach), there is enough vitamin B12 stored in the liver to last for one to five years.

Vitamin B deficiency is usually caused by pernicious anemia, a condition in which the digestive system is altered and cannot absorb vitamin B systemic lupus erythematosus , myxedema), or drug action. Among the drugs that may inhibit absorption are histamine blockers, such as cimetidine (Tagamet) and ranitidine (Zantac). Multiple symptoms result from malabsorption of vitamin B . Anemia, mentioned above, is associated with weakness, pallor, elevated heart rate, and elevated breathing rate (see Anemia ). In addition, the patient may be especially prone to infection and may bruise or bleed easily (see Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia ). Other symptoms include sore tongue, numbness, and tingling.

Extractions: Printer-Friendly Format FREE Newsletters Email to a Friend ... Next Pernicious anemia is a blood disorder caused by a lack of vitamin B12. Patients who have this disorder do not produce a protein (intrinsic factor) in the stomach that allows the body to absorb vitamin B12. Pernicious anemia is characterized by the presence in the blood of large, immature, nucleated cells (megaloblasts) that are forerunners of red blood cells. (Red blood cells, when mature, have no nucleus). Pernicious anemia is therefore one of the types of megaloblastic anemia. Doctors diagnose pernicious anemia when a patient with a low red blood cell count has large red blood cells and white blood cells with large, multi-lobed nuclei. The patient often has antibodies in the blood called intrinsic factor and parietal cell antibodies. A test that measures that lack of absorption of B12 (Schillings test) can be used to support the diagnosis. Nowadays, pernicious anemia is not so pernicious. Pernicious anemia is simply treated with vitamin B12. The vitamin B12 has to be administered by injection because people with pernicious anemia do not have adequate protein intrinsic factor (or an effective form of intrinsic factor) and so cannot absorb vitamin B12 taken by mouth.
