At the time of this diagnosis, there is a lack of healthy erythrocytes in the patient's blood.
Vitamins associated with vitamin deficiency anemia include folic acid, vitamin B-12, and vitamin C.
Blood tests are provided for diagnosis.
To help diagnose vitamin deficiency anemias, you might have blood tests that check for:
- The number and appearance of red blood cells
- The amount of vitamin B-12 and folate in the blood
- The presence of antibodies to intrinsic factor, which indicates pernicious anemia
Treatment
Vitamin deficiency anemia is treated with doses of whichever vitamin is lacking. For pernicious anemia, vitamin B-12 is usually delivered via injection and may need to be taken regularly for the rest of your life.
