STUDY OF HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN ANEMIC PREGNANT WOMEN.
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Anemia is characterised by decrease in RBC count or Hb concentration and is very common during pregnancy. If not diagnosed early, anemia can lead to increased morbidity and mortality of mother as well as fetus. Objectives: To study different haematological parameters in anemic pregnant women and analyse type of anemia based on haematological parameters. Methods: After permission from ethical committee, cross sectional study was conducted among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Vadilal Sarabhai General Hospital. After confirmation of pregnancy, blood sample was collected as per routine and results analysed. Results and interpretation: 58.33% were found to be anaemic. Mean Hb concentration in anemic women was 10.19gm%, RBC count was 3.5 millions/cu mm, MCV was 77.11 fl, MCH 26.62 pg, MCHC 32.92 and hematocrit (HCT) 32.14%. All these parameters were below their normal values. Mean red cell distribution width coefficient of variation (RDW CV) in our study was 15.70+1.92%. Conclusion: Analysis of parameters showed that iron deficiency anemia was most common cause of anemia in pregnant women. Early detection, treatment and prevention of anemia in pregnancy can improve maternal as well as child outcome
