Ineffective Hemopoiesis There is an accumulation of unconjugated bilirubin in plasma due to the death of nucleated red cells in the marrow (ineffective erythropoiesis). Other evidence for this includes raised urine urobilinogen, reduced haptoglobins and positive urine hemosiderin, and a raised serum lactate dehydrogenase. A weakly positive direct antiglobulin test due to complement can lead to a false diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Causes of Cobalamin Deficiency Cobalamin deficiency is usually due to malabsorption. The only other cause is inadequate dietary intake.

Other evidence for this includes raised urine urobilinogen reduced haptoglobins and positive urine hemosiderin and a raised serum lactate dehydrogenase. A weakly positive direct antiglobulin test due to complement can lead to a false diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Causes of Cobalamin Deficiency Cobalamin deficiency is usually due to malabsorption. The only other cause is inadequate dietary intake. Inadequate Dietary Intake Adults Dietary cobalamin deficiency arises in vegans who omit meat fish eggs cheese and other animal products from their diet. The largest group in the world consists of Hindus and it is likely that many millions of Indians are at risk of deficiency of cobalamin on a nutritional basis. Subnormal serum cobalamin levels are found in up to 50 of randomly selected young adult Indian vegans but the deficiency usually does not progress to megaloblastic anemia since the diet of most vegans is not totally lacking cobalamin and the enterohepatic circulation of cobalamin is intact. Dietary cobalamin deficiency may also arise rarely in nonvegetarian individuals who exist on grossly inadequate diets because of poverty or psychiatric disturbance. Infants Cobalamin deficiency has been described in infants born to severely cobalamin-deficient mothers. These infants develop megaloblastic anemia at about 3-6 months of age presumably because they are born with low stores of cobalamin and because they are fed breast milk of low cobalamin content. The babies have also shown growth retardation impaired psychomotor development and other neurologic sequelae. Gastric Causes of Cobalamin Malabsorption See Tables 100-3 and 100-4.
