27. Pernicious Anemia: An Explanation
    Feeling tired? One cause of fatigue is pernicious anemia. Luckily it can be easilytreated.

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Q: I have been diagnosed as having pernicious anemia and have been getting a B-12 shot once a month for the past year. However, I don't feel any different; I am always very tired, which is very different for me. Can you explain to me just what it is and what causes it? Is there anything else I can do? A: Pernicious anemia (PA) results from inadequate vitamin B12, which is necessary for making healthy red blood cells. In classic pernicious anemia the person lacks "intrinsic factor," a substance made by the stomach which binds to the B12 in food and enables the B12 to be absorbed. A person can get PA from a hereditary deficiency of intrinsic factor, surgical removal of portions of the stomach, chronic inflammation of the stomach lining (atrophic gastritis), and rarely from lack of B12 in the diet (mainly found in meat and dairy products). After a year of B12 injections, your body stores should be more than adequate, so I suspect there is probably another reason to explain your fatigue other than pernicious anemia. Fatigue can be due to so many things that range from the trivial, such as this very hot, humid weather we've been having this summer, to the serious, such as cancer. If you don't "feel right," it's best to get checked out.

It was diagnosed when she was 48. I have been on B12 many years - I am now almost 80. I receive monthly B12 injections, and would like to know if I still need these every month? My doctors don't check on the need as with other medication A: If you were diagnosed with PA at such a young age, chances are you need the B12 replacement now, at the age of 80, more than ever. In a survey of 548 older people, ages 67-96, about 20% had low levels of B12 on blood tests. Only half of those people were actually anemic, so they and their doctors were probably unaware of the B12 deficiency. Adequate B12 is important for other reasons than just prevention of anemia. The nervous system also utilizes B12, so a lack of B12 can result in numbness and tingling of the hands and feet, memory loss, disorientation, depression, and even personality change. Older people may have lower levels of B12 because they do not adequately absorb B12 from their food. Once malabsorption starts, the person will become deficient in one to two years. The best way to replace B12 is through injections. Pills are available but would not be absorbed any better than B12 in food unless given in fairly high doses. The usual dose is 1 mg per month given by injection. Ask your doctor to measure your blood level of B12. Most likely you will continue to require a monthly shot

    Extractions: Vitamin B , or cobalamin, plays an important role in the development of red blood cells. It is found in significant quantities in liver, meats, milk and milk products, and legumes. During the course of the digestion of foods containing B , the B becomes attached to a substance called intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is produced by parietal cells which line the stomach. The B -intrinsic factor complex then enters the intestine, where the vitamin is absorbed into the bloodstream. In fact, B can only be absorbed when it is attached to intrinsic factor. In pernicious anemia, the parietal cells stop producing intrinsic factor. The intestine is then completely unable to absorb B . So, the vitamin passes out of the body as waste. Although the body has significant amounts of stored B

    Extractions: What is pernicious anemia? Pernicious anemia, a potentially fatal nutritional deficiency, is easily treated by regular intramuscular injections of vitamin B-12. 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. 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?

Prevention Definition: Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of intrinsic factor, a substance needed to absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract. 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: 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.

Inadequate vitamin B12 gradually affects sensory and motor nerves, causing neurological problems to develop over time. It is important to know that the neurological effects of vitamin B12 deficiency may be seen before anemia is diagnosed. The anemia also affects the gastrointestinal system and the cardiovascular system. The following symptoms may indicate pernicious anemia: shortness of breath fatigue pallor rapid heart rate ... tingling and numbness of hands and feet sore mouth unsteady gait , especially in the dark tongue problems smell, impaired

    Extractions: Pernicious anemia is a blood disease caused by the lack of a substance (intrinsic factor) that the body needs in order to absorb vitamin B from food. Without enough vitamin B , the body does not produce enough red blood cells, and cells throughout the body do not get the oxygen they need. In pernicious anemia, the body produces antibodies that either destroy the parietal cells (cells in the stomach that make intrinsic factor) or that block the action of intrinsic factor. A doctor can diagnose this disease by doing a blood test that looks for these antibodies. Symptoms include weakness, numbness in the hands and feet, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fever. Pernicious anemia can damage the nerve cells in the brain and spinal column.

    Extractions: Pernicious Anemia is a rare blood disorder characterized by the inability of the body to properly utilize vitamin B12 (a cobalamin), which is essential for the development of red blood cells. The symptoms of Pernicious Anemia may include weakness, fatigue, an upset stomach, an abnormally rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and/or chest pains. Recurring episodes of anemia (megaloblastic) and an abnormal yellow coloration of the skin (jaundice) are also common. Pernicious Anemia is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, and certain people may have a genetic predisposition to this disorder.
