Multiple Myeloma Research Center VITAMINS AND IRON IN ANEMIA General Concept The maintenance of normal red cell mass and the synthesis of hemoglobin are normally adjusted to take care of the physiological loss of the blood elements. Anemia results when there is excessive loss or diminished replacement of red cells. Most anemia's are deficiency diseases resulting from inadequate tissue concentrations of iron, vitamin B12, or folic acid. Correction of the deficiency is highly successful provided an accurate diagnosis is made. Erythropoietin is a useful stimulator of bone marrow in certain diseases. Iron Iron is contained in the body in various forms, principally as hemoglobin. Normal blood contains about 15 g of hemoglobin/100 ml, and each gram of hemoglobin contains 3.4 mg of iron. It may be calculated then that the total normal blood volume contains about 2.6 g of iron. In addition to hemoglobin, iron is contained in ferritin, the storage form for iron in the tissues, and in the serum attached to the carrier substance, the globulin transferrin. Minute quantities are also present in the cytochrome enzymes and myoglobin of muscle. Quantitatively, hemoglobin and ferritin contain the bulk of the iron in the body, amounting to a total of about 4 to 5 g. Under normal circumstances red cells are broken down at a steady rate, their lifespan being on the order of 120 days. Most of the iron released from the breakdown of hemoglobin is reutilized. As a consequence, the daily iron requirement in a normal adult is quite low, about 1 mg. Growth, menstruation, and pregnancy increase the iron requirement.

Hemoglobinopathies and Thalassemias Updated 1 Nov 1998 I. Iron metabolism and iron deficiency anemia A. Iron and its metabolism The fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust, iron is only a trace element in biologic systems, making up only 0.004% of the body's mass. Yet it is an essential component or cofactor of numerous metabolic reactions. By weight, the great proportion of the body's iron is dedicated to its essential role as a structural component of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin without iron is totally useless (in fact, hemoglobin with Fe instead of the normal Fe is the ugly brown methemoglobin and is also worthless as an oxygen carrier). Without sufficient iron available to the rbc precursors, normal erythropoiesis cannot take place, and anemia develops. On the other hand, iron is a toxic substance. Too much iron accumulating in vital structures (especially the heart, pancreas, and liver) produces a potentially fatal condition, hemochromatosis . Clearly, iron, like oxygen, is another of the deleterious substances that evolution has led biologic systems into flirtation with.

Ans : Megaloblastic Anemia is characterized by the presence of large Red Blood Corpuscles in blood. Q.2) How does Megaloblastic Anemia progress? Ans: Folic acid plays a role in purine and pyrimidine synthesis. Cobalamin (vitamin B 12) is required for the proper metabolism of folate. Deficiency of either can ultimately lead to defective DNA metabolism and Megaloblastosis. Q.3) What are the causes of Megaloblastic Anemia?

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.

A Focused Approach to Anemia RALPH CARMEL Cornell University Case Commentary: PETER A. CASSILETH University of Miami If all the elements of the complete blood cell count are considered in clinical context, they can provide an invaluable guide to the possible causes of a patient's anemia and the tests needed for definitive diagnosis. Unnecessary tests not only add to the expense of treatment but may result in delayed diagnosis and inappropriate treatment in some cases. Dr. Carmel is Professor, Department of Medicine, Cornell University Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences, New York, N. Y., and Director of Research, New York Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn. Dr. Cassileth is Professor and Chair, Division of Hematology-Oncology, Department of Medicine, University of Miami School of Medicine. Case Presentation A 70-year-old African American woman presented with progressive weakness and fatigue. The symptoms had begun about a month earlier, and she no longer felt well enough to do her housework or take her daily walk. Although her breathing was normal at rest, she was too short of breath to walk more than two or three blocks. ; red cell distribution width (RDW), 19.8% (normal, 12%-15%), white blood cell count, 3,900/mm

78. Vitamin B12 Folic acid deficiency also results in another type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia in which the red blood cells resemble those seen with vitamins B12 http://www.vita-men.com/xnoplug/xcardB12/xB12back.htm

Vitamin B is best known as the vitamin that prevents and cures pernicious anemia Before the 1920s, this type of anemia was an invariably fatal disease. Today, once the problem is diagnosed, it can be controlled easily with periodic B injections or high oral doses of B Pernicious anemia isn't a directly dietary problem. It results from the body's inability to produce a protein that is necessary for the efficient movement of vitamin B from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. Patients are usually treated with B injections rather than oral supplements because this route of administration avoids the problems of absorption of vitamin B in the digestive tract. Oral treatment can work, if high doses of the vitamin are given. Evidently, when very large amounts of vitamin B are consumed, some of it manages to get into the bloodstream even in the absence of the special protein that is needed to carry it there. Not all cases of vitamin B deficiency are caused by classic pernicious anemia In some instances, especially in seniors, deficiencies may develop as a result of a more generalized sort of malabsorption caused by other diseases or by the aging process.

Ens-Dokkum Ghent University Hospital, Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, Ghent, Belgium Bartiméus Institute for Visually Handicapped Children, Zeist, The Netherlands University Clinic of Antwerpen, Antwerpen, Belgium Institute for the Deaf, Effatha, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA) is an autosomal recessive disease in which the active thiamine uptake into cells is disturbed. The molecular basis underlying the disorder has been related to mutations in the gene SLC19A2 on chromosome 1q23.3 that encodes a functional thiamine transporter. The protein is predicted to have 12 transmembrane domains. TRMA is characterized by sensorineural deafness, diabetes mellitus, megaloblastic anemia, and cardiomyopathy. Optic nerve atrophy and retinal dystrophy have been reported in a small number of patients. We report a 15-year-old girl with TRMA and cone-rod dystrophy and confirm that retinal dystrophy may form part of the syndrome. Differential diagnosis of syndromes with deafness, diabetes mellitus, and optic nerve atrophy or retinal dystrophy are discussed. The authors suggest that ERG be performed in all patients with TRMA.
