Prevention of vitamin B12 deficiency

Prevention of vitamin B12 deficiency refers to clinical prophylaxis aimed at maintaining adequate systemic cobalamin stores in individuals at elevated risk of depletion This clinical state primarily threatens the hematologic and nervous systems, commonly affecting populations with inadequate dietary intake, such as strict vegans, or impaired gastrointestinal absorption due to bariatric surgery, ileal resection, atrophic gastritis, pernicious anemia, or chronic medication use Prophylaxis aims to ...

Cobalamin is an indispensable cofactor for deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and myelin maintenance Prophylaxis aims to avert the pathophysiologic consequences of cellular depletion, which characteristically manifest as megaloblastic anemia, macrocytosis, hypersegmented neutrophils, and progressive neurologic impairments such as peripheral neuropathy, cognitive decline, or subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord
