Clinical Comparative Study for Some Biochemical Changes in Sera of Pregnant with Iron Deficiency Anemia

Abstract

The aim of this study was to study the evaluation of serum oxidation in pregnant women with iron deficiency
anemia by measuring lipid oxidation (MDA), and antioxidant status by analogy (Ferritin).Also, Examination
of erythropoietin (EPO) levels in pregnancy with iron deficiency anemia. Blood samples were obtained
from (80) pregnant women with anemia divided according to the stage of pregnancy and iron deficiency as
follows: 20 patients in the second third with anemia without iron deficiency, 20 patients in the second third
with anemia with iron deficiency, 20 patients In the third trimester with anemia without iron deficiency, 20
patients in the third trimester have anemia with iron deficiency. In addition to (40) healthy pregnant women
as a control group. Divided into two groups, 20 patients in the second trimester and 20 patients in the third
trimester.
Results: The results show a presence of a significant increase in MDA and EPO in all groups of patients in
Iron deficiency in comparison with control group. But, Ferritin levels showed a significant decrease in all
groups of patients in Iron deficiency and Iron normal comparison with control group.
