Pernicious Anemia: Causes and Lab Findings
Pernicious anemia is a type of megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, primarily due to autoimmune destruction of gastric parietal cells, leading to a lack of intrinsic factor (IF).

This results in defective DNA synthesis in erythroid precursor
