Study the levels of some blood parameters among pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in relation to gestational age
Keywords:
Iron deficiency, pregnancy, ferritin, TIBCAbstract
Anemia is the most common female physiological disorder. The study evaluated blood indices in pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia by trimester. This case-control research was conducted in Kirkuk from March 2018 to March 2019. The study included 90 pregnant women (60 with iron deficiency anemia and 30 healthy pregnant without anemia) ages 14-41. Pregnant women were divided into three groups according to the different trimesters of pregnancy. 30 healthy pregnant women without anemia were likewise separated into three groups (The 1st trimester of pregnancy included were 10 pregnant women, the 2nd trimester 10 and 3rd trimester of pregnancy included were 10 pregnant women). Group evaluation includes: History and clinical diagnosis are used to identify pregnant women at risk for iron insufficiency. Iron deficiency is diagnosed through clinical suspicion and laboratory testing. Each subject's blood was drawn for Ferritin immunofluorescence, total serum calcium, Phosphorus, serum Iron, and TIBC biochemistry kits, and CBC count. IDA pregnant women had the lowest mean serum ferritin (11.56 g/l) compared to non-anemic pregnant women (19.46 g/l), P=0.001. The study found that pregnant women with IDA had lower levels of S. iron (10.513.11 g/dl) than non-anemic pregnant women (16.854.23 g/dl), P=0.001.
