Pernicious Anemia
Pernicious anaemia is a condition caused by the body's inability to absorb vitamin B12, leading to a lack of red blood cells. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, and cognitive difficulties. Treatment typically involves lifelong vitamin B12 supplements. Diagnosis is made through blood tests assessing B12 levels and intrinsic factor antibodies.
