Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia is the most frequent form of
anemia in pregnant women. The diagnosis of IDA relies on
blood hemoglobin and plasma ferritin.
Severe IDA requires prompt intervention, especially in
women who for various reasons oppose blood transfusions.
In our country there is no statistical data about the exact
prevalence of anemia during pregnancy and postpartum period.
Intervention approaches against iron deficiency have taken
both public health and clinical or therapeutic tacks.
The public health approaches of education and iron
fortification have had great success reducing the prevalence of
anemia in women of reproductive age and in young growing
infants.
The clinical or therapeutic approach to prevent iron
deficiency focuses on the rapid restoration of reduced iron
stores through direct interventions that supplement iron
consumption by the individual.
Intravenous iron tolerance seems to be excellent in our
study without adverse effects
