==Overview==
Common causes of vitamin B12 deficiency include insufficient dietary intake, as well as diseases and [[iatrogenic]] procedures causing problems in absorption. It is common in individuals adhering to [[vegetarian]] or [[vegan]] diets without external supplementation, due to primary sources including animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy.


==Causes==
==Causes==
* Inadequate dietary intake of vitamin B<sub>12</sub>. As the vitamin B<sub>12</sub> occurs naturally only in animal products (eggs, meat, milk) a [[vegan]] diet can produce a deficiency unless one uses supplements or eats enriched food.<ref>[http://www.pernicious-anaemia-society.org/whatispa.html Pernicious Anaemia Society - What is Pernicious Anaemia?], retrieved July 30, 2007.</ref>  
<div style="-webkit-user-select: none;">
 
===Common Causes===
* Selective impaired absorption of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> due to [[intrinsic factor]] deficiency. This may depend on loss of [[stomach|gastric]] [[parietal cells]] in chronic [[atrophic gastritis]] (in which case, the resulting [[megaloblastic anaemia]] takes the name of "[[pernicious anaemia]]"), or on wide surgical resection of stomach (such as in [[bariatric surgery]]), or on rare hereditary causes of impaired synthesis of intrinsic factor. It takes years to develop deficiency after dietary absorption stops.
*Insufficient diet
 
*[[Malabsorption syndrome]]
* Impaired absorption of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> in the setting of a more generalized [[malabsorption]] or maldigestion syndrome. This includes any form of structural damage or wide surgical resection of the terminal [[ileum]] (the principal site of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> absorption), forms of [[achlorhydria]] (including that artificially induced by drugs such as [[proton pump inhibitors]]), as well as [[bacterial overgrowth]] (such as in [[blind loop syndrome]]).

*[[Gastritis]]
* Chronic intestinal infestation by the [[fish tapeworm]] ''[[Diphyllobothrium]]'', that competes for vitamin B<sub>12</sub>, seizing it for its own use and therefore leaving insufficient amount for the host organism. This is mostly confined to Scandinavia and parts of Eastern Europe (for example, in preparers of gefilte fish, who would acquire the tapeworm by sneaking bits of uncooked fish while making the Eastern European delicacy, now eaten by Jews at Pesach).

*[[Postgastrectomy syndrome]]
