Adults
Infants
Pernicious Anemia

Serum antibodies

Juvenil pernicious anemia

Congenital Intrinsic Factor Deficiency or Funtional Abnormality

Gastrectomy

Food Cobalamin Malabsorption
DIAGNOSIS OF COBALAMIN
DEFICIENCIES

Intestinal Causes of
Cobalamin
Malabsorption

• Intestinal Stagnant Loop Syndrome
• Ileal resection
• Selective Malabsorption of Cobalamin with Proteinuria
• Tropical Sprue
• Fish Tapeworn Infestation
• Gluten-Induced Enteropathy
• Severe Chronic Pancreatitis

• Pregnancy
• Prematurity
• Hematologic Disorders
• Inflamatory Conditions
• Homocystinuria
• Long-tern Dialysis
• Congestive Heart Failure, Liver Disease

Antifolate Drougs
Congenital Abnormalities of Folate Metabolism
DIAGNOSIS OF COBALAMIN
DEFICIENCES
Serum
ELISA

Cobalamin

160-200 ng/L to 1000 ng/L

100 and 200 ng/L are regarded as borderline

Serum Methyl
manolate and
Homocysteine

The serum MMA level is raised (Patients with cobalamin deficiency sufficient to cause anemia or neuropathy)
Serum MMA levels fluctuate in renal failure
30% Healthy volunters (350 ng/L)
15% Elderly subjects (>350 ng/L)
Serum Homocysteine (Cobalamin and Folate deficiency)

Cobalamin
Abosrption

Urinary excretion test
Patient is fasted ivernight
Cyanocobalamin oral
Radiactive Cyanocobalamin or Hydroxocobalamin (1mg)

24-hour urine specimen
After 48 hours with IF
DIAGNOSIS OF FOLATE DEFICIENCES
Serum
Folate

ELISA
2pg/L - 15pg/L
Serum folate rises in severe cobalamin deficiency
Intestinal stagnant loop syndrome

Red Cell
Folate

Less afected tan the serum assay by recent diet
160 – 640 pg/L
False normal results
TREATMENT – MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA

Platelets > 800 X109 /L
TREATMENT OF COBALAMIN
DEFICIENCY
Borderline cobalamin levels
Hydroxocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin

Malabsorption of cobalamin

Rises in serum MMA levels

Indications for starting
cobalamin therapy
• Well-documented megaloblastic
anemia
• Hematologic abnormality
• Neuropathy due to the deficiency

Total gastrectomy or Ileal recection
Patients who have undergone gastric reduction for
control of obesity
Reciving long-term treatment with proton pump
inhibitors
Hydorxocobalamin
• Replenishment of body stores
Six 1000 µg IM/3-7 days
• Maintenance therapy
1000 µg IM / month for 3 months
Cyanocobalamin (Poorer retention)
Small fraction of cobalamin can be absorbed passively through mucous membranes
Large daily oral doses can be used in PA
Sublingual therapy
Oral therapy: Important to monitor compliance

2000 pg
TREATMENT OF FOLATE DEFICIENCY
5-15 mg

It is a customary ton continue therapy for -4 months

Cobalamin deficiency must be excluded

USA: Food fortification with folic acid

Long-term folic acid therapy
• Deficiency cannot be corrected
• Gluten-Inuduced enteropathy
• Important to measure the serum cobalamin
FOLINIC ACID
• Stable form of fully reduced folate
• Toxic efects of
• Methotrexate
• DHF reductasa inhibitors
PROPHYLACTIC FOLIC ACID
Chronic dialysis

Pregnancy

Parenteral feeds

• 400 µg daily
• 5 mg daily (previous fetus with a
neural tuve defects)

Reduce homocysteine levels

Cognitive function in the
elderly

Infancy and Childhood
• Smallest premature babies (first 6
weeks of life)
• Folic acid 1mg daily (< 1500 g)
• Normal premature babies
