Pernicious anemia is likely to occur following a:
a. colectomy
b. colostomy

c. gastrectomy
Pernicious anemia is a chronic illness caused by impaired absorption of vitamin B-12 because of a lack of intrinsic factor (IF) in gastric secretions.
Gastrectomy can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency and affect the production of Intrinsic Factor. When the proximal stomach is resected or if the cells of the stomach lining are not able to produce Intrinsic Factor as an effect of gastrectomy, pernicious anemia is developed by the patient. The lack of Intrinsic Factor is the main cause of pernicious anemia because it is needed by the body to absorb vitamin B12. Normally, Intrinsic Factor combines with vitamin B12 and it helps in the absorption of B12 through the intestines.
