Complications
People with pernicious anemia need to meet their healthcare providers on a regular basis. This is important to find out the possible effects and complications of the condition. Gastric cancer is a severe issue that may happen. A doctor may monitor you for potential signs of cancer. If necessary, biopsies and imaging techniques should be used. Other possible complications that people with pernicious anemia may develop include digestive tract issues, heart issues, confusion, memory problems, neurological signs, and peripheral nerve damage. Most of these problems occur when pernicious anemia occurs for a long period. In some cases, it can be a permanent condition. [9]
