Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia
📋Overview
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is a condition characterized by a lack of adequate vitamin B12, leading to impaired red blood cell production and resulting in anemia. It is also known as cobalamin deficiency anemia. This condition can cause megaloblastic anemia, where red blood cells are abnormally large and dysfunctional. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is distinct from other types of anemia and is often associated with neurological symptoms due to the role of B12 in nerve function.
