Macrocytic Anemia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When the red blood cells form at a size larger than normal, we speak of macrocytic anemia. It is a type of anemia in which the bone marrow produces large erythrocytes and, at the same time, in insufficient quantity to meet the body's needs.
Common causes: it is usually associated with deficiencies of certain vitamins involved in the maturation of the blood cells, as well as with other blood disorders.
How it may manifest: tiredness, paleness, shortness of breath on exertion, weakness and, in some cases, discomfort in the tongue or mouth.
Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the one who studies alterations of the red blood cells and determines the origin of the anemia through blood tests. If you have unexplained fatigue or persistent paleness, seeing a specialized consultation makes it possible to clarify the cause.
