Iron deficiency Anaemia is the most common case of nutritional Anaemia worldwide and is a public health problem in developing countries; characterized by abnormal red cell count (MCV, MCHC). Iron deficiency Anaemia associated with fatigue, skin paleness, weakness etc. The aim of the study is to determine the risk factors for iron deficiency Anaemia among population of Ujjain district (M.P.). Both male and female iron deficient patients were studied from the SS hospital and CHL applo hospitals during Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2012. A group of 6828 patients were studied for iron deficiency Anaemia in different age groups. A total of 4549 female and 2279 males were studied. Information was collected about sex, socioeconomic level. It is inferred that the percentage of anaemia is more in women compared to men.

Study Population

Both iron deficiency and thalassaemia trait can present with hypochromic microcytic morphology. Naked eye single tube red cell osmotic fragility (NESTROF) is an inexpensive and simple test which can effectively differentiate iron deficiency anaemia from thalassaemia trait. Our study was an opportunity to observe the role of NESTROF in screening of thalassaemia trait among our study population. Initially NESTROF was carried out in 677 patients (N) population of four groups having both positive and negative NESTORF; for economical issue, auto-analyzer study and haemoglobin electrophoresis were done among only 100 randomly selected subjects, who were finally included in our study as final study population (n). In our study, NESTROF was 94.23% sensitive and its specificity was 92.08%. The predictive value of a positive test was 88.13% and predictive value of a negative test was 96.24%. Our study showed, NESTROF can effectively differentiate iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) from thalassaemia trait but, is not effective in co-existent IDA and thalassaemia.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2014; 32: 190-193

The most commonly encountered disorders with microcytic anemia are iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and β-thalassemia trait (BTT).It is important to distinguish between IDA and BTT to avoid unnecessary iron therapy and the development of hemosiderosis.Various parameters obtained on automated haematology analyser by calculating discriminant functions have been helpful to differentiate iron deficiency anemia and β-thalassemia trait. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in the pathology department of Gujarat Adani Institute Of Medical Science.We had studied 100 cases of differentiating Iron deficiency anaemia and β-Thalassaemia trait from patient's case records and laboratory reports irrespective of age and sex over a period of one year (January 2020 to December 2020).Tests for serum iron and ferritin were carried out in individuals showing low hemoglobin (Hb). All the selected subjects' samples were subjected to blood morphology, comparison of mean cell volume (MCV), RBC count, red cell distribution width (RDW), Red cell distribution width Index (RDWI),Srivastav Index(SI),Green and king Index (GI) and Mentzer's Index(MI). Results: Out of 100 cases seventy five were diagnosed having iron deficiency anaemia, whereas twenty five were having βthalassemia trait. The RBC count was higher and MCV was much lower in β-thalassemia trait as compared to iron deficiency anaemia.Both groups were subjected to RDW,RDWI,SI,MI and GI. Conclusion:Among various discriminant function calculated from different haematological parameters and blood indices,Mentzer index and Srivasta index are more sensitive and specific for differentiating iron deficiency anaemia and β-thalassemia trait.
