Abstract
Background: Anemia is a major public health problem. It is now one of the most frequently observed nutritional diseases in the world. Aims and Objectives: To Study Significance of Plasma and Red Cell Volumes during Pregnancy. Material and Methods: This study anemia in pregnancy was conducted in department of pathology in collaboration with department. Was carried out in 11 months-from January 2014 to November 2014 in Total 400 cases of pregnant females attending antenatal OPD. Statistical analysis by chi-square test calculated by SPSS 19 version of software, P value <0.05 was taken as significant. In the study of 400 patients. 359 cases (89.5%) were of microcytic hypochromic anemia, 34 cases (8.75%) were of macrocytic hypochromic anemia and 7 cases (1.75%) of dimorphic anemia. Results: Highest percentage of all grades of anemia was found in age range of 21-30yrs.Microcytic hypochromic anemia was predominant type of anemia in 21-30 age groups (P<0.001). Microcytic hypochromic anemia was predominant in all gravida (P>0.14). In all trimesters, microcytic hypochromic anemia was predominant type of anemia. (P>0.05) In all grades of anemia Dimorphic anemia was most common 71.42% followed by Microcytic hypochromic anemia 68.80% and Macrocytic hypochromic anemia was 55.88% (P>0.05). Conclusions: Prevalence of anemia was high in pregnancy i.e. 39.4%, Highest percentage of anemia was seen in third trimester Anemia was predominantly seen in primigravidae, 21-30 years was the most commonly affected age group Moderate anemia was the predominant grade of anemia in all age group all gravidae and all trimesters, Microcytic hypochromic anemia was the predominant morphological type of anemia in all age ranges, all gravidae and all trimester. There was statistically significant association between age and morphological type of anemia.
