A member asked:
I had a ptt-la screen & it didnt correct; a result consistent with intrinsic factor deficiency, is there any chance its not pernicious anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not pernicious: anemia. The test you described is for a coagulation disorder, not for pernicious anemia. There is contradiction in the statement you provided and you should discuss it with the doctor who ordered the test. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
