Effectiveness of injection iron sucrose in increasing hemoglobin percentage
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the study is to investigate the pregnant patients with anemia (hemoglobin less than 10 gm per deciliter) for determining effectiveness of injection iron sucrose in increasing hemoglobin percentage. Material and Methods: Total 142 patients with hemoglobin concentration 10 gm/dl or less were included in study and investigated. Out of these 142 patients, 50 patients were in group I that is patients with hemoglobin percentage < 7 gm/dl and 92 patients were in group II that is patients with hemoglobin percentage 7 to <10 gm/dl. Fifty-six patients with hemoglobin concentration 10 gm/dl or more served as control group. Cases were studied as follows Out of 142 anemic patients, 53 patients received 2 doses of Injection iron sucrose 100 mg in 100 ml normal saline intravenously 48 hours apart and hemoglobin percentage and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) done after 7 days after 2nd dose. Salient findings: On an average there was 1.6 gm/dl rise in hemoglobin levels and 4.6 percentage rises in PCV were observed after 7 days. Conclusions: Intravenous iron sucrose was effective in increasing hemoglobin level.
