Abstract:
We report two cases of young patients (44 and 26 years old) with severe macrocytic, megaloblastic anaemia in course of Addison-Biermer's disease. In addition we found also other reasons of vitamin B12 deficiency. The one of them was chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and the second was, surely, Helicobacter pylori infection. The presented cases confirm the importance of spreading the diagnosis with antithyroid antibodies detection and Helicobacter pylori test in all patients with Addison-Biermer's diseaese.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
