Abstract
Introduction:- In India,women become pregnant with low baseline hemoglobin levels resulting in high incidence of moderate to severe anemia in pregnancy where oral iron therapy cannot meet the requirement. Pregnant women with moderate to severe anemia are to be treated with parenteral iron therapy. This study was done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous iron sucrose given to pregnant women with proven iron deficiency anemia. Materials And Methods:-A prospective observational study was conducted in 98 pregnant women attending antenatal checkup at primary health center with documented low Hb levels between 6-9 gmsHb.They were treated with intravenous iron sucrose 200mg thrice weekly calculating the dose required.Statistical analysis of the data was done by using paired T TEST. Results:- Mean Hbrised from 7.9-11.5 after 8 weeks of iron infusion therapy.A significant rise in serum ferritin values is noted.Other parameters including Serum Iron,TIBC,Reticulocyte Count and MCV were also improved significantly without any Adverse drug reactions. Conclusion:- Intravenous iron sucrose therapy was effective in measuring Hb,S.Ferritin and other hematological parameters in pregnant women with moderate anemia.
