The aim of the study: to study the frequency of anemia in pregnant women with different somatotypes and to develop a model for predicting the risk of this pathology. Materials and methods. 390 women were examined. Of the women studied 110 were mаcrosomatotype, 173 mesosomatotype, and 107 microsomatotype. Somatometry was performed according to R.N. Dorokhov for women in early pregnancy (before 910 weeks of gestation). In blood test the level of hemoglobin, red blood cells, and hematocrit is determined using the Medonic M-series hematological automatic analyzer. Serum iron levels were determined colorimetrically with ferrosine. Serum ferritin levels were determined spectrophotometrically using ELISA methods. Results. It was found that iron deficiency anemia was significantly more common in pregnant women of macro-and microsomatic body type compared to women with mesosomatotypes (p 0.05). Pregnant women with severe anemia were not found. There were iron deficiency anemia of mild and moderate severity, and latent iron deficiency. Hematological parameters (hematocrit, serum iron, serum ferritin) were significantly lower in pregnant women with latent iron deficiency compared to women without anemia (p 0.05). Using multiple regression analysis, we obtained the regression equation (formula), which predicts the development of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women of different somatotypes. Conclusions. The calculations according to the presented formula, allows to predict with high accuracy the prognosis of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women, and also allows to form among patients a high-risk group for the development of this disease in the first trimester of pregnancy when the pregnant woman is registered in the womens consultation, which will contribute to more effective implementation of therapeutic and preventive measures to prevent the development of this pathology.

BACKGROUND: Anemia during pregnancy, undiagnosed and untreated promptly, is the cause of various obstetric complications: spontaneous miscarriages, premature birth, placental insufficiency, obstetric bleeding, ante- and intrapartum fetal death. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women with different somatotypes and to develop a prognostic model for the pathology onset. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 390 pregnant women. Somatometry was performed according to the method of R.N. Dorokhov in terms of pregnancy not exceeding 9-10 weeks. Of the examined pregnant women, 110 were of the macrosomatotype, 173 of the meso- and 107 of the microsomatotype. In a clinical blood test, the levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells were determined using well-known methods. Blood iron levels were evaluated by the colorimetric method with ferrozine using a Parma Iron Reagents Kit (Parma Diagnostics Ltd., Russia). Serum hepcidin levels were determined spectrophotometrically using ELISA methods. RESULTS: Iron deficiency anemia was most commonly detected in pregnant women of the macro- and microsomatotype, when compared to those of the mesosomatotype (p 0.05). There was no severe anemia in the study groups. The levels of hematological parameters (serum iron and serum hepcidin) were significantly higher in the group of pregnant women with latent anemia, compared to the study group without signs of anemia (p 0.05). In the second trimester, iron deficiency anemia occurred in the group of patients with latent anemia. Using multiple regression analysis, a formula was obtained for predicting the onset of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women of different somatotypes. CONCLUSIONS: Hematological parameters (serum iron and serum hepcidin) should be attributed to markers of iron deficiency anemia and timely predict the onset of pathology. The mathematical formula obtained allows predicting with high accuracy the onset of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women, taking into account the somatotype in the first trimester of pregnancy, and timely preventing the onset of pathology.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to find out the incidence of anemia in pregnant women of Swat District; to analyze the iron variations and its dietary effects.Data were collected during the periods of January – September 2016. The study of samples comprised of 250 pregnant women in the different trimester. Blood sample from each woman was collected and full blood count (FBC) was conducted through Mindray BC-3000 plus hem analyzer for all pregnant individuals. Confirmed anemic cases were then examined for IDA with serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) through Randox kit and serum transferrin saturation was estimated by formula (serum ferritin saturation =serum iron ×100/TIBC). The total number of participants in the first trimester were 50, among them 26 women were suffer from iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with 52% weightage of prevalence rate, (mean Hb concentration 9.602 ± 0.87 g/dl). The rates of IDA were 63.3%; ( mean Hb concentration 8.48 ± 1.24 g/dl) and 54%; ( mean Hb concentration 9.18 ± 1.28 g/dl), among 150 and 50 participants in the second and third trimester, respectively. A significant correlation was found between serum ferritin and Hb, serum ferritin against MCV and serum ferritin against MCH. The high prevalence of anemia was found 78.2% in the age group from 26-30 followed by 78.2% in the age group 36-40 years compared to those of other age groups in the second trimester. In this study the prevalence of IDA in third trimester is lower compared to first and second trimester.

Prevalence Of Anemia

Purpose: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) during pregnancy and infancy is still common in developed countries, especially in low-income groups. We examined the prevalence of anemia and IDA in healthy low-income pregnant women participating in the Early Childhood Initiatives (ECI) program, and in their infants when they reached six months of age. Methods: Pregnant women were recruited by nutritionists. In mothers, hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume, and serum ferritin (SF) were measured at 36 ± 2 weeks of gestation. In infants, Hb, mean corpuscular volume, SF, serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TS) were measured at six months of age. Thirty-one mother-infant pairs participated. Results: Among the 31 pregnant women participating in the ECI program, six (19.4%) were anemic (Hb <110 g/L) and five (16.1%) suffered from IDA (Hb <110 g/L and SF <10 µg/L). Among infants, seven of 23 (30.4%) were anemic (Hb <110 g/L) and five of 23 (21.7%) suffered from IDA (Hb <110 g/L plus two of the following: TIBC >60 µmol/L, SF <10 µg/L, serum iron <5.3 µmol/L, TS ≤15%). Conclusions: The prevalence of anemia in this group of lowincome pregnant women is comparable to that in privileged women. The prevalence of IDA in infants is comparable to that observed in other high-risk groups. Effective strategies are needed to prevent IDA in vulnerable groups.

Background: Detection of iron deficiency early during pregnancy is essential for correct management. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a new routine parameter in fully automated hematology analyzer that can give the idea of early iron deficiency before Hb%. This study was aimed to see the role of red cell distribution width and Hb% in determining early iron deficiency in pregnant women.Methods: In this study 190 pregnant women were included. CBC including Hb% and RDW and iron profile were done. RDW were compared with Hb% in various stages of iron deficiency.Results: RDW was more significant than Hb level in latent iron deficiency when Hb level was normal (p<0.05). In mild and moderate iron deficiency anemia, RDW was increased progressively though Hb level was reduced. In this study RDW had sensitivity 82.3% and specificity 97.4%. Whereas Hb level had sensitivity 56.6% and specificity 90.9% for iron deficiency.Conclusion: Latent iron deficiency without other complicating disease could be screened out early by increased RDW when Hb% was normal.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 9, No. 2: Jul 2018, P 137-141

Background: Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common cause of seizure in children, occurring between 6-60 months. It coincides with peak age of incidence for Iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Iron is required for optimal growth and development and its deficiency is associated with numerous problems including persistent cognitive and motor delays. The objective was to study the role of IDA as a risk factor for simple febrile seizure and its recurrenceMethods: A case control study was conducted among 90 febrile children - 45 cases with simple febrile seizure and 45 cases with febrile illness, between the age group of six months to five years of age at Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Pondicherry, between September 2013 and June 2015. The hematological parameters like Hemoglobin, Serum ferritin and RDW were compared between the two groups with respect to fever and different temperature intervals, recurrence of FS.Results: Hb and Serum Ferritin levels were found to be significantly associated with simple febrile seizure, with p value of <0.002 and 0.001 respectively. Similar association was found at different temperature intervals. However, there was no association of hematological parameters with FS recurrence.Conclusions: IDA is a significant risk factor for FS in children while same may not have any effect on the recurrence of FS.

     This research aimed at identifying the relationship of iron-deficiency anemia caused by insufficient dietary intake and the iron-deficiency anemia caused by parasitic worms such as hookworms. Whole blood was drawn from 40 specimens; 20 males and 20 females, normal healthy controls with age ranges 8-50 year. Blood samples were collected from 80 patients with symptoms of anemia, with age range from 10-50 year. After fecal examination, they were divided into two groups: Group one, iron-deficiency anemia with non-parasitic; and group two, iron-deficiency anemia with parasitic. Blood samples were divided into two container, one for the hemoglobin, other for serum ferritin and elements of iron, zinc in tubes without anticoagulants. Results demonstrated a significant decrease in the levels of serum iron, serum ferritin, and hemoglobin in male and female patients (in group one without parasitic worms) as compared with control groups. Furthermore (in two groups with and without parasitic worms), a significant decrease in the level of serum zinc in male and female patients as compared with control group. A significant decrease in the levels of serum iron, ferritin and hemoglobin were observed in male and female patients with iron-deficiency anemia caused by parasitic hookworms compared with control group. The worm burden was classified as light, moderate and heavy as estimated by egg counts per gram of faeces, so results showed the median increase with developing of iron deficiency anemia from parasitic hookworms.

Women Of Reproductive Age

Objective of the Review: To set forth the frequency and prevalence of the anemia syndrome in non-pregnant and pregnant women and approaches to treating this disorder. Key Points: Anemia syndrome is the most common health problem in contemporary women. The leading cause of iron deficiency in women of reproductive age is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Anemia in women significantly reduces their ability to work and quality of life, and increases the rates and severity of complications in pregnant women and parturients. It is also a significant contributor to maternal mortality and fetal and neonatal morbidity. Treating anemia in pregnant women presents certain challenges. In the period between the first trimester and delivery, there is an 8-fold increase in the requirement for iron; therefore, hemoglobin levels return to normal slowly. The active ingredient of Ferrum Lek is a ferric hydroxide polymaltose complex, which is as effective as medications containing ferrous sulfate, but is significantly better tolerated by patients and easier to use. The active transport of iron allows its controlled absorption from the polymaltose complex, minimizing the risk of an increase in serum levels of iron not bound to transferrin. This ensures that this medication is very safe and eliminates the risk of overdose or poisoning. Conclusion: Anemia syndrome is the most common type of homeostatic imbalance in women of reproductive age. It most often results from frequent and abundant uterine bleeding (AUB). Therefore, an obstetrician-gynecologist plays the leading role in identifying menstrual disorders and choosing therapies to reduce blood loss. A gynecologist will also work with an internist (hematologist) in treating iron deficiency anemia. Keywords: anemia syndrome, iron deficiency anemia, abnormal uterine bleeding, ferric hydroxide polymaltose complex.

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the commonest nutritional deficiency in all parts of the world. In developing countries, the commonest cause is inadequate dietary intake [1]. The red cell indices raise the suspicion of iron deficiency state due to the microcytic, hypochromic changes and the wide red cell distribution width. The iron studies are confirmatory of an iron deficiency state, but are not accurate in the presence of infection, inflammation or malignancy as they are acute phase proteins and are affected in these states making the serum iron studies unreliable under these conditions. The reticulocyte haemoglobin content (CHr) indicates the iron available in the marrow for the production of Hb and are not affected by the above-mentioned situations and therefore has been recommended as a reliable marker of iron status in the body. The value for CHr given in the literature was 25pg [3]. Objectives: General objective was to evaluate the significance of CHr in the diagnosis of IDA. The Specific objectives were to compare CHr with the other conventional iron parameters including serum iron, serum ferritin, TS and TIBC and evaluate any significance of CHr with RBC indices (MCV, MCH and MCHC) and age. Methodology: A retrospective analytical study performed at the Department of Haematology of a Tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka. Data was obtained from the patient records of those referred to the Haematology department for management of iron deficiency during the period of 9 months commencing from April 2019 to January 2020. Data from 178 adult patients both males and females (16 to 84 years) diagnosed with IDA (S. Ferritin < 20ng/ml) (Hb < 12g/dl in men and Hb <11.5g/dl in women) were randomly selected. In pregnant females the S. Ferritin level considered was <30ng/ml and the Hb level was <11g/dl in the first trimester and 10.5g/dl in the 2nd and third trimester [4]. Blood count and CHr was analyzed using Mindray fully automated analyzer BC 6800, Serum iron and TIBC was measured with Mindray BS 480 and Serum ferritin with Advia Centaur Xp. TS was calculated by dividing serum iron by TIBC and multiplying by 100. A data extraction sheet was used to enter the investigations with the results. Statistical Analysis: Data were double entered and were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Descriptive statistical methods were used to calculate the median and the mean ± standard deviation of Hb, serum iron, serum ferritin, TIBC, TS, MCV, MCH, MCHC and CHr. Pearson’s correlation was used to evaluate the correlation between variables. Coefficient of determination (R Sq) was used to a statistical measure of how close the data are to the fitted regression line. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Conclusion: Significant positive correlations were observed between the CHr and haematological parameters such as Hb, MCV, MCH, and MCHC and biochemical parameters including serum iron, serum ferritin, and TS (p value < 0.001). Negative correlation was seen between the CHr and TIBC and there was no correlation with age. The mean value of CHr was 22.4 ±4.16pg and median was 22.2 pg.
