Abstract
Iron is a critical micronutrient during pregnancy for both maternal health and fetal growth and development. It is worth mentioning that iron is a two-edged sword in the body system, as both iron deficiency and iron overload may lead to unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. Very few studies have examined the maternal iron profile at the time of delivery using iron markers including hepcidin, and correlating them with immediate perinatal outcomes.
AIM OF THE WORK:
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between maternal serum iron markers at the time of delivery with maternal and perinatal outcomes in a sample of Egyptian pregnant women admitted at Shatby Maternity Hospital for delivery.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This cross-sectional observational study involved 100 single normal term pregnancies admitted for delivery at Shatby Maternity Hospital, with no known pregravid chronic diseases, nor pregnancy complications.
Before delivery, venous blood samples were collected for laboratory analysis including CBC, Ferritin, Hepcidin and TIBC as maternal iron indicators. Prior discharge, immediate perinatal complications for both the mother and the newborn were documented.
