Disease/Condition Glossary

Vitamins play an important role in our body. If your body cannot absorb enough vitamins and minerals, that can lead to neurological problems, bone abnormalities, and blood clotting problems. Symptoms like brittle hair and nails, mouth ulcers or cracks in the corners of the mouth, bleeding gums, poor night vision and white growths on the eyes, and neuropathic pain are associated with vitamin deficiency.

Peripheral neuropathy: The deficiency of vitamin B-12 is one cause of peripheral neuropathy. If it is left untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage. Peripheral neuropathy is when the nerves that transport messages to and from the brain and spinal cord and to the rest of the body might be damaged or diseased.

Megaloblastic anaemia: Megaloblastic anaemia is a blood disorder in which the number of red blood cells is lower than the normal level. Red blood cells help in transporting oxygen throughout the body. Tissues and organs will not get enough oxygen when your body lacks red blood cells. In megaloblastic anaemia, the red blood cells will be larger than normal, so they are not produced properly. Also, they may not be able to exit the bone marrow into the bloodstream. Megaloblastic anaemia is also known as vitamin B-12 or folate deficiency anaemia.
