Hemoglobin, Serum Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity in Pregnant Anemic Woman
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Iron is a vital element for all living cells which plays an important role in various metabolic pathways. It is key component of hemoglobin and myoglobin which transport CO2 and O2 in organism. It acts as coenzymes for many enzymes involving in oxidation reduction reactions concern with energy generation. Iron deficiency and Iron deficiency anemia are the most common nutritional disorders in pregnancy. The prevalence of Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is 14 % in pregnant women developed countries and 56 % in developing countries. Anemia is in the form of reduced concentration of hemoglobin and or red blood cell in the circulatory system, which results in the reduction of oxygen transfer capacity of the body. We have estimated the Hemoglobin, serum Iron and serum TIBC in pregnant anemic women and pregnant healthy woman (control). We found significantly decreased hemoglobin and serum Iron and significantly increased TIBC in pregnant anemic women as compared to control. Estimation of serum Iron and TIBC may be useful for the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant woman.
