Macrocytic anemia may be caused by underlying diseases, so various blood tests are done to check for: Liver diseases Thyroid function Levels of vitamin B12 and folate Peripheral blood smear A small smear of blood is taken on a slide and is studied under the microscope. This test shows the ...
ANEMIAVITAMIN B12CELL sizeBackground Aims: The study aimed to examine the frequency of hypothyroidism among patients with macrocytic anemia and to compare this with the frequency of megaloblastic anemia. Materials and Methods: Routinely transferred specimens for a complete blood count t...
The present study was carried out to determine that H.pylori is the most common cause of chronic gastritis with or without gastric mucosal atrophy leading to deficient absorption of vitamin B12 and macrocytic anemia. This study examined how serum vitamin B12 levels relate to chronic gastritis and ...
(IRF), mean reticulocyte volume (MRV) and mean fluorescence index (MFI) in peripheral blood samples from healthy donors ( n = 30), patients diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS, n = 35), with megaloblastic anemia (MA, n = 10) and with non鈥恗egaloblastic macrocytic anemias (...
Material & Methods: 450 cases of both genders, diagnosed as macrocytic- megaloblastic anemia were studied for the vitamin Cobalamin levels. Cases were collected through non- probability convenient sampling by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Consenting volunteers were asked fo...
We wished to test the hypothesis that the presence of high-expressing alleles of MIF predisposes to the development of anemia in the setting of HIV, particularly in association with other co-morbid conditions. In order to address this question, genomic DNA isolated/extracted from blood collected ...
