- 22E: oral B12 high-dose for pernicious anemia (alternative to IM); MMA gold for B12 def confirmation; pregnant + AED 4-5 mg folate; pernicious anemia endoscopic surveillance for gastric CA + carcinoid
- Taiwan: å¥ä¿ cyanocobalamin IM/SC + oral B12; å¥ä¿ folic acid; å¥ä¿ leucovorin (MTX rescue + chemo); å¥ä¿ endoscopy for pernicious anemia screening æ¢ä»¶
ð Pearls (8)
- Oral B12 1000-2000 ÎŒg/d as effective as IM for pernicious anemia (Cochrane 2018+)
- Hydroxocobalamin preferred over cyanocobalamin in some countries (longer half-life + retention)
- Methylcobalamin / adenosylcobalamin active forms (oral); benefit unclear vs cyano
- Pernicious anemia + gastric carcinoid: 3-5x baseline; endoscopy in selected
- Vitamin B12 deficiency neuro recovery: variable; chronic deficiency (years) â permanent damage
- Combined B12 + folate def: treat both; B12 first
- Hyperhomocysteinemia + CV risk: not reduced by B12/folate supplementation in trials (HOPE-2, NORVIT, VISP)
- Pyridoxine (B6) deficiency: rare but causes microcytic / sideroblastic; not megaloblastic
ð Taiwan + å¥ä¿
- å¥ä¿ cyanocobalamin IM/SC injectable
- å¥ä¿ oral B12 (multiple)
- å¥ä¿ folic acid PO
- å¥ä¿ leucovorin (folinic acid) for MTX rescue + chemo support
- å¥ä¿ anti-IF + anti-parietal Ab æ¢ä»¶
- å¥ä¿ MMA + homocysteine æ¢ä»¶ (æ°, éå¶)
- å¥ä¿ EGD for pernicious anemia surveillance æ¢ä»¶
