ASSESSMENT OF UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD IRON AND TIBC LEVELS IN NEONATES OF ANAEMIC MOTHERS
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The most common cause of anaemia in pregnancy is Iron deficiency which can affect the newborns. This study was done to compare the serum Iron & Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) levels in the 20 newborns of non–anaemic and anaemic mothers each. Results showed that Haemoglobin % was significantly lower (P≤ 0.001) in newborns of anaemic mothers. Serum Iron levels did not show any significant difference (P = 0.1) & TIBC levels were significantly higher (P≤ 0.01) in newborns of anaemic mothers as compared to newborns of non- anaemic mothers.
