This module has now come full circle from the first question ñ lack of B traps folate in the N -methyl form. For the affected patient, this means that the functions of both B and folate are disrupted. To explain the symptoms: methylmalonic aciduria - This is perhaps the only real way to distinguish a B deficiency from a folate deficiency (biochemically, at least). The enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase requires B (but not folate) as a cofactor, so its reactant (methylmalonyl CoA) accumulates only in a B

WOMEN ALIVE Awareness Is Life - Involvement Is Power - Spring 1999 Strategies for Self-Advocacy Women and Anemia By Debra Johnson, NP, PA-C and Judith Currier, MD Anemia can be a very common finding in HIV-infection. There may be many causes; low red blood counts, low vitamin B12 stores, iron deficiency, a thyroid that may not be functioning correctly, a lot of blood loss during menses, low hormone levels, an effect from medication or an infection that invades the bone marrow (parvo B19, MAC, or a deep fungal infection). Risk Factor As many as 70-80% of HIV-infected patients develop anemia at some time during the course of their infection. Several clinical studies have suggested that anemia is an independent risk for a decrease in survival in patients with HIV disease. It is not clear if anemia was the only cause of a decrease in survival or if it is a part of concomitant opportunistic illness such as Mycobacterium avium or cytomegalovirus disease. One study done at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found anemia to be a rather strong risk factor for dying in patients infected with HIV. Many times women become so accustomed to feeling fatigue that they may never report it when they see their clinician. Sometimes anemia is such a common finding, that clinicians may not realize the impact that it can have on a women's energy level.

Home Megaloblastic anemia DESCRIPTION Megaloblastic anemia is a blood disorder characterized by anemia, with red blood cells that are larger than normal, usually resulting from a deficiency of folic acid or of vitamin B-12. Deficiencies of vitamin B-12 and folic acid are the most common causes of megaloblastic anemia. Other causes are leukemia, myelofibrosis, multiple myeloma, certain hereditary disorders, drugs that affect DNA synthesis such as chemotherapy agents (methotrexate), alcohol, and other causes. SYNONYMS Anemia - Megaloblastic SYMPTOMS Loss of appetite Diarrhea Tingling and numbness of hands and feet Pale skin color Tiredness Headaches Sore mouth and tongue Change in skin color HERBAL TREATMENT Herbal treatment designed to improve symptoms, correct imbalance and adjust immune system, prevent and treat later diseases and/or complications, and most importantly, to boost energy and strong body for better health and quality of life.

Megaloblastic Anemias (MGA) are rare blood disorders characterized by the presence of large, structurally and visually abnormal, immature red blood cells (megaloblasts). Decreased numbers and immaturity of white blood cells (leukocytes) and blood platelets (thrombocytes) may also occur. Megaloblastic Anemias are usually caused by a deficiency or defective absorption of either vitamin B12 (cobalamin) or folic acid. As a result, they are also known as the vitamin deficiency anemias. In most cases, the fundamental flaws leading to the several forms of MGA caused by vitamin deficiencies are present at the time of birth and exist as a result of a genetic defect. In addition, certain antitumor or immunosuppressive drugs may also cause Megaloblastic Anemia.

You are here: Home Health Information Health Topics Blood Disorders Megaloblastic (Pernicious) Anemia What is Megaloblastic (Pernicious) Anemia? Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia is a rare disorder in which the body does not absorb enough vitamin B12 from the digestive tract, resulting in an inadequate amount of red blood cells (RBCs) produced. What Causes Megaloblastic (Pernicious) Anemia? What is Anemia? Anemia is a common blood disorder, which is caused when there is a drop in hemoglobin or hematocrit in the blood. Hemoglobin is the part of blood that distributes oxygen from the lungs to tissues in the body. Hematocrit is the measurement of the percentage of red blood cells found in a specific volume of blood. Anemia is usually a symptom of a disease rather than a disease itself.
