Role of Injectable Iron Sucrose in Pregnancy Beyond 26 Weeks
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Anemia is the commonest haematological disorder of pregnancy. 80% of pregnant women suffer from anemia in India. The reasons are poor nutritional status, pregnancy at short intervals, malaria& hook worm infestation. Pregnancy with anemia is a topic of special interest for the obstetrician because if it is not treated in time it may lead to serious complications like pre-eclampsia, inter-current infection, preterm labour, uterine inertia, post partum haemorrhage, cardiac failure and puerperal sepsis. Thus, anemia can cause direct as well as indirect maternal mortality. (1) The huge problem called anemia that adversely affects maternal & foetal outcome is simply prevented by iron supplementation. The newer parenteral iron therapy esp-e cially iron sucrose is a boon for patients who are intolerant to iron tablets, noncompliant to tablets or suffering from malabsorption syndrome & moderate to severe anemia in second trimester or early third trimester. Iron sucrose also reduces the need for blood transfusion for blood tran-sfu sion and its hazards. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines anemia in pregnancy as haemoglobin level below 11 gm/dl. But -cri teria for developing countries are different, with a cut off value of 10gm/dl. In developing countries following values are used: Mild Anemia :8-10gm% ,Moderate Anemia :6.5-8 gm% , Severe Anemia:< 6.5 gm%. Prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in India averages 57.9%.
