Comparison of Treatment in Iron Deficiency Anaemia with Iron Alone Versus Iron Plus Protein Supplementation
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the role of protein supplements in addition to iron in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia. Materials and Method: A prospective clinical trial on consecutive series of female patients diagnosed with IDA. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A received only iron while group B received iron and protein. Hematological parameters were checked at monthly intervals till four months. The data was entered and calculated for statistical significance. Results: A total of 100 patients were included and divided into two groups of 50 each. Group A showed lower and slow improvement while group B showed higher and rapid improvement of hematological parameters. Conclusion : Protein supplements along with iron is necessary for higher and faster correction of IDA.
