Pernicious anemia is a common cause of cobalamin deficiency-caused megaloblastic anemia in Hainan, China
The proportion of PA in cobalamin deficiency-caused MA patients in Hainan province was higher than 80%, which was more common than expected. Therefore, screening for IFA, PCA, endoscopic biopsy, and thyroid-related parameters are recommended for all cobalamin deficiency-caused MA patients. Furthermore, maintenance cobalamin-supplement therapy is important for PA patients.
