ABSTRACT

Background: Anaemia is most common abnormality seen during pregnancy accounts for 20% of all maternal deaths. Most common cause is iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy. Since compliance to oral iron therapy is poor and results unpredictable, parenteral iron is better option.

Method: It is a cross-sectional analytical study of 40 pregnant women in gestational age 14-28 week with moderate anaemia in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh. Results: Within short span of 4 weeks, IV FCM increased haemoglobin by 1.56gm/dl, serum iron by 48.77µgm/dl and MCV by 12.10fl (p<0.05 in all). Conclusion: In a resource limitted setting, single dose administration, rapid improvement of haematological parameters makes FCM as the best option for management of IDA in pregnancy.
