Vitamin B12 is an important supplement. But our bodies store enough B12 in the liver to last for years. Folate deficiency can occur within a few weeks.
Thank you. I left med school during my second year because of MS in 2002. In 2004 I had a carcinoid removed, along with over two feet of distal ileum I was always weak and dull-headed and I thought it was due to MS but later my Int Med resident checked my labs and said my Vit B12 was the lowest he had ever seen.. I was like "Of course, that's where the B12 is absorbed." You have a great series and provide a valuable service for all med students on their journeys.@@pwbmd
I am not crazy to say this but i love this topic 🙏
Dollar is the currency of U.S. and there is no hemolytic crisis!
You recommend giving pts Folate but what about Vit B12?
