What is pernicious anemia?

The lack of healthy and functional red blood cells in our body is called anemia. Red blood cells are important for supplying body tissues with oxygen.

Anemia is of various types depending on its cause or reason. Pernicious anemia is a condition in which enough red blood cells are not found because the intestines have a reduced ability to absorb vitamin B12.

Intrinsic factor binds to the vitamin B12 so that it can be absorbed by the intestines. In the absence of intrinsic factors, vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed.
