Monica Dudve

Abstract


Introduction: Anemia is most common medical disorder of pregnancy which is responsible for higher maternal mortality in developing countries.

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of iron sucrose in anemic pregnant women presenting at Government Civil Hospital, Nagda (M.P.).

Materials and Methods: It is a prospective clinical study of 65 pregnant women having moderate to severe anemia. This study was conducted over a periods of six months duration. Total iron deficit was calculated by formula. Intravenous iron sucrose was given in divided doses. Hemoglobin repeated after 3 weeks of therapy. Age of patient, Gestational age, parity and pretreatment and post treatment Hb(Hemoglobin) was calculated and analyzed.

Results: 67.7%(44) of the patients .i e. were between 26-30 years of age while 15.4% (10) patients were between 36-38 years of age. 61.5%(40) had gestational age between 31-34 weeks, 32.3%(21) patients between 21-30 weeks of gestations while 6.15% (4) patients had gestational age <20 weeks. 7.69%(5) patients were primi gravid, 44.6%(29) were second gravid a,10.77%(7) were 3rd  gravid and 21.53%(14) patients were 4thgravida. Iron sucrose therapy was effective in 59(90.76%) patients which show significant improvement in hemoglobin.

Conclusion: Iron sucrose therapy is safe, effective and convenient in treatment of anemia in pregnancy. Intravenous iron sucrose can replace blood transfusion in antenatal and postnatal period in many patients.
