Aim of our study was compare the effectivness and torelebility of intravenous iron sucrose versus oral iron therapy Iron- deficient anemia in pregnancy.
In a prospective and retrospective study department of SIMS Hapur. Two hundred twenty nine women with IDA were sequentially selected and assigned in intravenous iron sucrose group and oral iron ferrous sulfate group. Target hemoglobin was set at 12 g/dl. Hemoglobin and serum ferritin were reviewed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks fallowed,paired, independent test was applied.
The change in hemoglobin ≥ 1.5 g/dl at 4weeks, serum ferritin level raised from baseline was highly significant (p =0.000). In the intravenous sucrose group than oral iron.
IV sucrose elevates hemoglobin and restores iron faster than oral tron therapy, administration of IV iron sucrose therapy in pregnant women was well tolerated.
Anemia, Iron sucrose Ferrous Sulfate
