Introduction: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are predisposed to nutritional deficiencies, resulting in vitamin B12 deficiency with negative hematologic consequences. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of intramuscular B12 on renal anemia among ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) at El-Najar hospital, Gaza Strip. Patients and Methods: A case-control study conducted, which included 110 healthy controls and 110 HD patients who received B12 on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis over two months. Sociodemographics and current diseases were reported. Serum levels of serum B12, white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and platelet (PLT) were recorded before and after treatment. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS. Results: Baseline serum B12 level was significantly lower in HD patients compared to controls (362.62 ± 166.40 versus 483.36 ± 115.07 ρg/mL, P<0.001), which significantly improved aft...

The impacts of parenteral vitamin B1, B6, B12 on hemoglobin levels in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis2020 •
Chronic kidney disease is a disorder of renal function and structure. The glomerular filtration rate was below the normal value and less than 60 ml/minute /1.73 m2 for more than 3 months. Patients with chronic kidney disease have erythropoietin in small amounts, and cause anemia. Vitamin B1 acts as oxidative decarboxylation reactions, B6 necessary to heme synthesis, and B12 converts homocysteine to methionine. This study aims to measure the impacts of parenteral vitamin B1, B6, B12 on hemoglobin level in chronic renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta and Panti Rapih Hospital Yogyakarta. The design of this study was one group pretest-posttest using secondary data from lab results from medical records. Data were collected from 117 patients using consecutive sampling methods at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta and Panti Rapih Hospital Yogyakarta in March 2019. The treatment given was parenteral vitamin B1, B6, B12 twice a week with a dose of 2 ml. Vi...

A Study of Vitamin B12 Levels In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients In Tertiary Care Hospital2019 •
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease is a growing health burden in the world, with an estimate of nearly 20 million affected.CKD is defined as either sustained reduction in kidney function with a glomerular filtration rate is less than 60ml/min/1.73 mt2 or evidence of kidney damage . Lack of erythropoietin ,iron , deficiency anemia and shortened red cell lifespan are the major factor contributing to anemia in CRF.Another possibility is nutritional deficiency,vegetarian diet or deranged metabolism of vitamins in uremic patients OBJECTIVE : To Define prevalence of Vitamin B12 deficiency in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients MATERIALS AND METHOD It is a hospital based cross sectional study conducted in Osmania General Hospital in January 2019. Study included 60 patients suffering from CKD disease who were taking treatment in hemodialysis nephrology unit. After taking informed consent, patients underwent history recording, clinical examination.Laboratory investigations included urine examination, blood sugar profile ,renal function test and Serum vitaminB12. The individual venous blood,3ml sample taken in red vacutainer and Analysed on ADVIA CENTAUR XPT siemens immunoassay analyzer for vit B12 levels by CMIA method . RESULT AND DISCUSSION: Out of total 60 subjects, 42 were males and 18 were females with a mean age of 48.32 +/- 5.63 years. Vitamin B12 deficiency was observed in significant cases,p value<0.005. This deficiency is caused by inadequate nutrition and loss through the haemodialysis procedure.Another possibility is deranged metabolism of vitamins in uremic patients. Similarly mean duration of CKD was also significantly associated with presence of Vitamin B12 deficiency. CONCLUSION: Present study showed high prevalence of Vitamin B12 deficiency in CKD patients. Most of the patients had associated neurological, hematological and gastro-intestinal symptoms .Hence all the treating nephrologists should anticipate the deficiency of Vitamin B12 in CKD patients.

Study of vitamin B12 deficiency in chronic kidney diseaseBackground: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing health burden and important cause of morality and morbidity worldwide as well as India. Anaemia a feature of CKD, is multifactorial, one of the most important factor responsible for the development of left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic and later systolic dysfunction and cardiovascular disease, which is the single most important contributor to the mortality in CKD. Severe Chronic Kidney Disease has an adverse effect on haematopoiesisis. Lack of erythropoietin, Iron deficiency anaemia and shortened red cell life span, Nutritional deficiency or deranged metabolism of vitamins is the major factors contributing to anaemia in CRF. Patients with CKD show megaloblastosis on examination of the bone marrow. Suggestive of Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency might Be Additional Factors Contributing to inadequate Haematopoiesis in uremia. Patients with CKD are at higher risk for nutritional deficiencies due to medication interactions, ...

Vitamin B12 supplementation in end stage renal diseases: a systematic review2015 •
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease particularly in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Vitamin B12 supplementation on its own still remains as a controversial issue for clinicians in decreasing the level of homcysteine in this group of patients. Using all randomized controlled trials (RCTs), clinical trials and pre-post-trial studies found during January 1999 to March 2014, we conducted a systematic review which assessed the effects of vitamin B12 in decreasing homocysteine levels in patients with ESRD. The findings of this study revealed that, overall, the greatest effect of B12 supplementation on decreasing homocysteine levels in patients with ESRDs occurred when it was combined with folate supplementation. It was also demonstrated that injection treatments might be more beneficial than oral intake treatments. More rigorous studies are needed to draw a firm conclusion about B12 therapy and the level of homocyteine in patients with ESRD.

Association of serum vitamin B12 and folate with mortality in incident hemodialysis patients2016 •
Vitamin B12 (B12) and folate are essential vitamins that play important roles in physiological processes. In the general population, many studies have evaluated the association of these vitamins with clinical outcomes, yet this association in hemodialysis (HD) patients remains unclear. We examined the association of serum folate and B12 with mortality in a 5-year cohort of 9517 (folate) and 12 968 (B12) HD patients using Cox models with hierarchical adjustment for sociodemographics, comorbidities, and laboratory variables associated with the malnutrition and inflammation complex syndrome. The associations of baseline B12 and folate (separately) with all-cause mortality were evaluated across five categories of B12 [<400 (reference), 400-<550, 550-<650, 650-<750 and ≥750 pg/mL] and folate [<6.2, 6.2-<8.4, 8.4-<11 (reference), 11-<14.3 and ≥14.3 ng/mL]. The study cohort with B12 measurements had a mean ± standard deviation age of 63 ± 15 years, among whom 43% we...

Introduction: A strict vegetarian diet has been associated with increased risk of cobalamin deficiency therefore; one would expect a high prevalence of Cobalamin deficiency in India. Erythrocyte indices have been used in the initial evaluation of anemic patients; high Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a traditional criterion for folate and vitamin B12 deficiencies. There is no large study of the prevalence of B12 deficiency among patients with normocytosis or microcytosis. Method: We retrospectively analyzed the records of serum vitamin B12 and MCV of both inpatients and outpatients at Santokba Durlabhji Memorial Hospital & Research Institute, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during the period from August 2010-April 2011. The study was aimed at identifying the correlation between vitamin B12 level and MCV; and prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency in this region. Result & Conclusion: Every third person is vitamin B12 deficient in the region. There is no correlation between vitamin B12 levels and MC...

Vitamin B12 deficiency, its prevalence and haematological manifestations -A study in a tertiary care hospitalAim: To determine the prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency in subjects with anaemia and elevated mean corpuscular volume. Materials and Methods: Blood samples from 119 subjects were selected for the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria laid down. Blood samples were analysed on sysmex KX 21 haematology analyser. Morphological evaluation of blood cells was done on peripheral blood smear. Serum vitamin B 12 assays were done. Qualitative and quantitative variables were analysed by statistical methods. Results: Out of 119 subjects taken for study 70 (58.8 %) were male and 49 (41.2 %) were female with mean age ± SD 40.5± 18. Vitamin B 12 deficiency was noted in 82 (69 %) of which 12 (10.1%) were in Borderline levels of deficiency, 31 (26.1%) were in deficient levels and 39 (32.8%) were in severely deficient group. Red blood cell indices were categorized as per different groups of vitamin B 12 levels. Pancytopenia was noted in 67.1% (54) of B 12 deficient individuals. Significant negative correlation was found between vitamin B 12 levels and mean corpuscular volume (r = - 0.215 .p = 0.019). A positive correlation was found between vitamin B12 and platelet count. (p= < 0.001) and also with leukocyte counts (p value < 0.001) These correlations were found to be statistically significant. Peripheral blood film examination shows macrocytosis in 76 (64%) smears and hypersegmented neutrophils in 66 (56%) smears. Keywords: Vitamin B 12 deficiency, prevalence, Megaloblastic anaemia, Pancytopenia, Mean corpuscular volume.
