Overview
Causes
Normal B12 absorption and action are dependent of 5 things: dietary intake, acid in the stomach, pancreatic secretions, secretion of IF by Gastric parietal cells, an ileum that can absorb the IF-B12 complex
- Nutritional defects (folic acid or vitamin B12 which is mainly from animal sources; vegans may require supplementation)
- Chronic liver diseases
- Alcoholism
- Pregnancy
- Decreased production of intrinsic factor (this disease entity is called pernicious anemia)
- Intestinal malabsorption (due to an enteritis, celiac disease or other causes).
- Fish tapeworm infestation (Diphyllobothrium latum)
- Failure to replicate chromosomes due to lack of thymidine.
- Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome
- Cytotoxic drugs interfering with DNA synthesis
- intestinal flora disruption due to antibiotic use
Causes
Life-threatening Causes
- Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of disease name, however complications resulting from untreated disease name is common.
- Life-threatening causes of [symptom/manifestation] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
- [Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].
Common Causes
Common causes of macrocytic anemia may include: causes of megaloblastic anemia and non megaloblastic anemia:[1][2][3]
Megaloblastic
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency:
- Deficient intake
- Deficient intrinsic factor (pernicious anaemia or gastrectomy)
- Bilogical competition for B12 by diverticulosis, fistula, intestinal anastomosis, achlorhydria and infection by the marine parasite Diphyllobothrium latum
- Selective B12 malabsorption (congenital and drug-induced)
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Ileal resection and bypass
- Folate Deficiency:
- Deficient intake
- Alcoholism
- Increased needs: pregnancy, infant, rapid cellular proliferation, and cirrhosis
- Malabsorption (congenital and drug-induced)
- Intestinal and jejunal resection
- Toxins and Drugs:
- Amobarbital sodium
- Cycloserine
- Cytarabine
- Ethotoin
- Folic acid antagonists (methotrexate)
- Pergolide
- Purine antagonists (6-mercaptopurine)
- Pyrimidine antagonists (cytosine arabinoside)
- Phenobarbital
- Pyrimethamine
- Secobarbital sodium
- Erythroleukemia.
Non megaloblastic
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of macrocytsic anemia include:
- Combined Dieficiency (Tropical Sprue): Vitamin B12 & Folate.
- Inherited DNA Synthesis Disorders: Deficient thiamine and factors (e.g. enzymes) responsible for folate metabolism.
- Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome
