Abstract
Background: The therapeutic use of iron for the treatment of anaemia dates from ancient times. An iron preparation of ancient 'Hindu' medicine known aslauhabhasma was prepared by roasting sheets of iron and thenformulating it with other ingredients to be used in the treatment of anaemia.Objectives: To see efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose therapy in pregnancy for iron deficiency anemia. Material and Methods: This was a prospective observational study carried out at Bharati Vidyapeeth, Medical College and Hospital which is a tertiary care center and in Sangli. 207 pregnant women were selected during a period of 1 year. They were investigated for iron deficiency and treated for the same. They were followed for 1 month. Resulting data was analyzed using SPSS vr 20. Results: In total n=207 cases, the mean gravida was 1.94 ± 0.96; mean weight was 53.70 ± 5.57 kg; mean period of gestation at the time of diagnosis was 28.88 ±5.11wks. The increase in the mean of Haemoglobin was 1.14g/dl (from baseline Hb of 7.86g/dl to 9.00g/dl) after two weeks and 2.76g/dl (from baseline Hb of 7.86 to 10.62g/dl) after 4 wks. P value is 0.000 and the test is highly significant. Mean of RBC count, PCV(%), MCV (fL), MCH (pg), MCHC (%), Serum ferritin (µg/L), Serum iron (µg/dL), TIBC (µg/L)p values before and after treatment was found to be highly significant p ˂0.000.Conclusions: Intravenous iron sucrose is highly efficious in improving iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women.
