Abstract

Iron, vitamin B12, and folate are essential for the body’s metabolic reactions. Deficiency of these in isolation or in combination can lead to anaemia and systemic symptoms. Sometimes the systemic symptoms and deficiency can precede the anaemia. Deficiency states are commonly seen in everyday practice so it is vital to be able to recognize and treat them appropriately. Differentiating and diagnosing the cause of anaemia allows clinicians to understand the steps in clinical presentation and the specific investigations. Every effort should be made to determine the cause of the nutritional deficiency and treat it if possible. Transfusion is rarely required and many of these presentations can be successfully treated with a period of supplementation. Patient compliance with treatment is key to successful treatment.
铁,维生素B12和叶酸
铁、维生素B12和叶酸对人体的代谢反应至关重要。这些单独或联合缺乏可导致贫血和全身性症状。有时全身性症状和缺乏症可先于贫血。缺乏状态在日常实践中很常见,因此能够识别和适当治疗它们是至关重要的。鉴别和诊断贫血的原因使临床医生能够了解临床表现和具体调查的步骤。应尽一切努力确定营养缺乏的原因,并在可能的情况下进行治疗。很少需要输血,许多这些表现可以通过一段时间的补充成功治疗。患者对治疗的依从性是治疗成功的关键。
