This code may be outdated. View the most recent version of ICD-9-CM 281.0

  • (per-NISH-us a-NEE-mee-a) A type of anemia (low red blood cell count) caused by the body's inability to absorb vitamin B12.
  • A megaloblastic anemia occurring in children but more commonly in later life, characterized by histamine-fast achlorhydria, in which the laboratory and clinical manifestations are based on malabsorption of vitamin B 12 due to a failure of the gastric mucosa to secrete adequate and potent intrinsic factor. (Dorland, 27th ed)
