In addition to the well-recognized complications of vitamin B-12 deficiency, such as macrocytic anemia and neurological complications affecting sensory and motor function, more subtle effects have also been described, including osteopenia, neurocognitive impairment, and increased vascular disease risk associated with elevated homocysteine. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Castle and his associates have postulated the significance of defects of the dietary factor, the gastric factor, and of difficulty in the absorption or utilization of substances promoting blood formation in the production of other types of macrocytic anemia responding to liver extract. ❋ Unknown (1965)
In the macrocytic anemia of certain cases of late sprue, of coehac disease and of rare instances of intestinal stenosis or multiple anastomoses, difficulty in absorption plays a major role. ❋ Unknown (1965)
Theoretically there could occur a disorder of the internal metabolism of "liver extract", and an occasional case of macrocytic anemia might be explained on such an assumption. ❋ Unknown (1965)
Liver extract potent for pernicious anemia is of value in such other macrocytic anemias as arise in sprue ❋ Unknown (1965)
In one rare and striking case I have seen the tongue and skin lesions of pellagra subside upon the oral administration of yeast, the edema from protein deficiency vanish when beefsteak was fed and finally the macrocytic anemia disappear rapidly when liver extract was given orally. ❋ Unknown (1965)
Macrocytosis was defined as the presence of any macrocytic cells. ❋ Saurabh Mehta Et Al. (2010)
A high value would indicate a larger red blood cells such as in macrocytic anemia of a folacin deficiency or pernicious anemia from a B12 deficiency. ❋ Unknown (2009)
MCHC Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration Indicates the Hb content per volume of RBC A low value is obtained when Hb is decreased more than Hct. Hb (g / dl) x 100 Hct MCHC \% = In iron deficiency anemia, the MCV, MCH and MCHC are low In the macrocytic anemias of B12 or folate they may be high or normal. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Of course, I have no idea if the outcome would be different, because the concept of likes cures likes seems to mean you treat the fatique, not the anemia (unless you treat with something that causes macrocytic anemia - which is really not a symptom). ❋ Unknown (2008)
[12] - [15] are known to be mutated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA; MIM 105650), a congenital erthyroid aplasia characterized by macrocytic anemia. ❋ Unknown (2009)
