Presentation
CONCLUSIONS: Macrocytic anemia is not the only hematological presentation of ABG. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Children 10y presented a lower prevalence (p 65y, 60.2%). II. The overall subsample presented 24.7% low B-12, 8.1% low folate, 22.2% anemia and 3.7% macrocytosis, 1.3% macrocytic anemia. [b12-institute.nl]
This patient's clinical presentation does not fit any know mtDNA deletion syndrome. We present a case of a novel mtDNA deletion in a child who initially presented with MA. [aspergillus.org.uk]

Treatment
Treatment with levothyroxine led to correction of the hematologic abnormalities over a four-month period. The anemia of hypothyroidism may present with macrocytic indices and this diagnosis should be suspected when this finding is noted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What should you tell the patient and the family about prognosis? The vast majority of patients with vitamin B12 deficiency will respond to vitamin B12 replacement with a dramatically improved sense of well being. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Etiology
Nine cases (36%) showed macrocytic anemia without any evident etiologies during therapy. The cumulative appearance rate of anemia was 19% at 12 weeks and 51% at 18 weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The common theme of etiologies that give rise to macrocytic anemias are their capacity to interfere with DNA Synthesis. This results in ineffective erythropoiesis within the bone marrow and over time, anemia. [pathwaymedicine.org]

You can’t always prevent macrocytic anemia, particularly when it’s caused by underlying conditions out of your control. However, you can prevent the anemia from becoming severe in most cases. [healthline.com]
