ABSTRACT

Iron deficiency anemia is a frequent pathology, being some of its etiologic factors dietary deficit and hematic lost. Among the most susceptible groups to suffer from this disease are pregnant women. This study pretends to determine hematological features of pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in one specialized prenatal consult. Descriptive research was developed with 91 pregnant women to whom was applied a survey with socioepidemiological variables (age, marital status, occupation, and socioeconomic status), hematologic studies were made, including serum ferritin levels. The population studied was composed by pregnant patients whose ages ranged from 14 to 42 years (mean of 26.48 years, standard deviation of 7.30 years), being the most numerous age group the 14-19 one (42.31%), followed by the 20-25 year group (34.61%). Socioeconomic characteristics were analyzed, finding statistical significance for the state (predominance for Graffar III and IV) and occupation (predominance of house keeping). From the whole sample, 26 (28,57%) were anemic, whose ages ranged from 20 to 27 years (mean of 18.42 years), being 16,6% dued to iron deficiency. Besides, 39.5% of the sample had ferritin levels lower than 45ng/l; from which 28 (77.8%) did not show anemia. Sixty-six percent of anemic patients did not had previous diagnosis. There were found patients showing diminished or exhausted iron reservations but were not anemic, being susceptible to present it in the long term. Emphasis on the prevention of anaemia in pregnant is recommended to minimize maternal/fetal risk.
