THE IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN B12 DEFICIENCY IN CHILDREN WITH GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASES

Soliyeva K.I. - Bukhara State Medical Institute named after Abu Ali ibn Sina

Resume

Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and neurological development, especially in children. Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases can significantly impair the absorption of vitamin B12, leading to a range of hematological and neurological complications. This article reviews the causes, clinical implications, and management of vitamin B12 deficiency in children suffering from gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic gastritis

Keywords: vitamin B12 deficiency, children, gastrointestinal diseases, malabsorption, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, anemia
