Question : What courses in large blood cells

Answered by Dr. Lohit K (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
vitamin B6 and B12 deficiency cause larger RBCs

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I couldn't not understand your query. Is it what causes large blood cells?

If so, the deficiency of vit B12 and B6 causes megaloblastic anaemia causing the larger red blood cells than normal. Supplementation with oral Vitamin B6 and B12 will help in faster recovery if no problem in stomach and intestine.

I hope this information helps you. If you want other information or any other queries feel free to ask me. I will be glad to answer them.

Wish you good health.
Regards
