Abstract

Worldwide Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) affects 25% population and in India it affects 80% of pregnant. Prospective interventional study was conducted to know the efficacy of intravenous (IV) iron sucrose in the management of IDA in pregnant women. Pregnant women with singleton pregnancy with gestational age more than 20 weeks and IDA (Hemoglobin 10 gm % and serum ferritin 15ng/dl) were enrolled in the study. Women divided in two treatment groups using lottery system division. Among these two groups, one group received oral iron treatment and another group received IV iron sucrose according to a predesigned standard treatment protocol. Hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels were studied one months after completion of treatment it was observed that in IV iron sucrose treatment group there is statistically significant improvement in Hb and serum ferritin on day 30 after completion of treatment (p value 0.0001).
