Anemia caused by iron deficiency in infants (A Review)
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Iron deficiency and iron-induced anemia are among the most important health problems in the world, especially in Iran, which can impair development, lead to poor coordination of the nervous system, decrease learning power, cause academic failure, and even impair the immune system (1). After birth, under the influence of conditions such as the extra-uterine peroxygenase, the control of erythropoietin secretion and the rate of hemorrhage are reduced and, on the other hand, due to the short duration of life of the blood cells containing embryonic hemoglobin, which forms the majority of neonatal hemoglobin, the rate of infant hemoglobin decreases when it is physiologically between 8 and 12 weeks of age.Searches were conducted by two independent researchers in international (PubMed, Web of science, Scopus and Google scholar) and national (SID, Magiran) databases for related studies from the inception of the databases to September 2017 (without time limitation) in English and Persian languages. To ensure literature saturation, the reference lists of included studies or relevant reviews identified through the search were scanned. The specific search strategies were created by a Health Sciences Librarian with expertise in systematic review search using the MESH terms and free terms according to the PRESS standard .At birth, the hemoglobin level of the umbilical cord blood is about 14-20gr / dl. The infant is diagnosed with anemia if the level of hemoglobin is lower than the normal range for birth weight and postpartum birth weight. The factors affecting hemoglobin levels include age, sex, pregnancy, smoking, and height.
