A member asked:
Can hpylori bacteria cause macrocytic anemia for 70 yrs man. had it from 2 yrs and treated. folic, b12 ok. can it be no absorption though normal vit.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: H. Pylori does not causes macrocytosis. If B12 is below 400, consider checking methylmalonic acid as it still could be B12 deficiency. In a 70 year old, maxrocytosis could be a sign of bone marrow disorder, called myelodyspalstic syndrome. Also, certain drugs can cause macrocytosis.
