Vitamin b 12 deficiency anaemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency - what does this mean

Vitamin b12 deficiency anaemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency occurs when the body does not produce enough of the intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein secreted by the stomach, which is necessary for the absorption of vitamin b12. this causes a deficiency in vitamin b12, which in turn results in a decrease in the production of red blood cells, leading to anaemia.

What happens during the disease - vitamin b 12 deficiency anaemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency

Vitamin b12 deficiency anaemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency is caused by a decrease in the production of intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein secreted by the parietal cells of the stomach. this decrease in intrinsic factor production leads to malabsorption of vitamin b12 from the diet, resulting in decreased levels of vitamin b12 in the body. as a result, the body is unable to produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to a deficiency of red blood cells in the body and the development of anaemia.
