A member asked:

How can one tell the difference between low b12 and pernicious anaemia? mildly low ferritin, b12, folate (folic acid) and red blood cells. hair loss too.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is serious: Pernicious anemia is one cause of a low B12 but your situation is complicated. If you are a non-supplementing vegetarian, please reconsider. You will need a proper set of labs and an inquiry as to the cause of each deficiency. Insist on full explanations
