Pernicious anaemia is an autoimmune disorder and a form of macrocytic anaemia caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B12, which leads to insufficient production of healthy red blood cells.
It may take several years to observe bodily changes caused by pernicious anaemia. If left untreated, this condition can lead to serious medical complications, including irreversible damage to the nervous system.
It occurs usually between the age group of 40 – 60 and more in females.
The condition can happen if you don’t eat enough foods containing vitamin B12 and folate (folic acid), or if your body has trouble absorbing or processing these vitamins.
Without these nutrients, the body produces too large red blood cells in size that don’t work properly and reduces their ability to carry oxygen to various tissues around the body.
Pernicious anemia increases the risk of stomach or intestinal cancers.
