Main Factors

The article describes the pathogenesis of occurring of iron deficiency anemia. The study was conducted in Bukhara. According to him, in each critical period, specific etiological factors predominate, and it is the elimination of these factors in the first place that increases the effectiveness of treatment. The main factors of iron defiency anemia are alimentary insufficiency of in girls of childbearing age is the onset of menstruation, and in women of childbearing age, improper use of intrauterine devices, frequent abortions, metroragias for various reasons, alimentary insufficiency and incomplete acceptance of the previous course of ferrotherapy.

Iron Replacement

Iron deficiency anemia is a common disease. According to various reports, it is found in the majority of women of childbearing age, pregnant and postpartum women. This is due to the high requirement of iron during gestation and increased consumption in the postpartum period. Choosing the most effective iron replacement drug the effect of which is realized within the minimum period of time could be the best solution of the problem and contribute to favorable outcomes.

Background: Among the causes of high Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is anemia. Iron deficiency anemia, the most common type of anemia, frequently occurs in women of childbearing age because they experience menstruation each month. To diagnose iron deficiency, serum ferritin level could be used as one of the indicators. This study aims to know whether there is an association between menstruation patterns and serum ferritin level in brides-to-be in Padang. Method: This study was conducted using an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design. A Total of seventy samples of brides-to-be aged 20-30 years were gathered using a consecutive sampling technique. This study was conducted from November 2019 until April 2020. Data on menstruation patterns were collected through a questionnaire. Data of serum ferritin levels were acquired from venous blood sampling and measurement of serum ferritin levels with The Electro Chemiluminescence Immuno Assay (ECLIA) method. Bivariate analysis of this study used Independent T-test. Results: This study showed sixty-eight point six percent of respondents were experiencing abnormal menstruation patterns while the mean of serum ferritin levels was normal (sixty-two point zero seven ± thirty-nine point forty-five ng/ml). The Independent T-test showed p-value = 0,921. Conclusion: There was no significant association between menstruation pattern and serum ferritin level in brides-to-be in Padang. Keywords: iron deficiency anemia, women of childbearing age, menstruation patterns, serum ferritin levels.

The Impact

Abstract Abstract 3353 Iron store depletion is a common side effect of whole-blood donation. Iron loss may lead to iron deficiency symptoms such as fatigue, decreased physical and job performance then gradually result in iron deficiency anemia. As of 2004, routine serum ferritin testing was implemented at our Center. We analyzed the impact of this measure on our donor population with regard to hemoglobin level, anemia occurrence and donor deferral due to low hemoglobin. A total of 160'612 intended donations of 23'557 healthy blood donors at a single institution (Blutspendezentrum beider Basel, Basel, Switzerland) between 1996 and 2009 were analyzed. At each visit, complete blood counts were taken from fingerprick samples and donors were deferred if the capillary hemoglobin concentration proved <133 g/L (m) or <123 g/L (f). From 2004 on, serum ferritin was measured systematically. Upon detection of ferritin levels indicative of iron depletion or iron deficiency anemia, donors were contacted by a blood bank physician and received medical counseling. The further procedure of iron supplementation, donation interval extension or GP referral in the case of abnormal history remained at the physician and donor's discretion.Our donor population consisted of 10'893 males and 12'664 females, 8165 being women of childbearing age (age 18–45). Mean hemoglobin concentration of male donors rose from 151.7 g/L (before 2004) to 153.6 g/L after 2004 (difference 1.9 g/L, 95% CI 1.7 – 1.9 g/L). In women of all ages, the mean hemoglobin concentration increased from 135.7 to 138.3 g/L (difference 2.6 g/L, 95% CI 2.4 – 2.7 g/L) (Figure 1). The hemoglobin concentration of women of childbearing age was 134.2 g/L before 2004 and 137.0 g/L thereafter (difference 2.8 g/L, 95% CI 2.6 – 3.0 g/L). To rule out an alternative cause for the increase in hemoglobin, we assessed the evolution of hemoglobin levels in the periods of 1996–2003 and 2004–2009. In the former period, hemoglobin levels decreased at a mean rate of 0.22 g/L (95% CI -0.19 - -0.26 g/L) per year in male donors, whereas no significant change was seen in female donors (mean change 0.04 g/L, 95% CI -0.01 – 0.09 g/L). In the second period (2004 – 2009), mean hemoglobin levels increased in both male (mean increase per year 0.20 g/L, 95% CI 0.14 – 0.25 g/L) and female donors (mean increase per year 0.16 g/L, 95% CI 0.09 – 0.23 g/L). Before the introduction of routine ferritin measuring, 1.6% (95% CI 1.5 – 1.7%) of donors showed anemia according to WHO definitions (m: Hb<130; f: Hb<120). Anemia occurred in 1.1% of our donors after 2004 (95% CI 1.0 – 1.2%, difference before/after 2004 0.5%, 95% CI -0.6 – -0.3%). Frequency of anemia declined in both male donors (before 2004 0.7%, after 2004 0.5%) and in female donors (before 2004 3.6%, after 2004 2.2%). In the group of women of childbearing age, 4.9% (95% CI 4.6 – 5.3%) were anemic before and 3.1% (95% CI 2.7– 3.4%) after 2004 (difference before/after 2004 -1.8%, 95% CI -1.4 – -2.4%). In all visits to our center before 2004, 2.8% of donors (95% CI 2.7 – 2.9%) were not accepted for phlebotomy due to a hemoglobin count below the mandatory threshold. After 2004, the percentage of rejected donors due to a low hemoglobin count decreased to 1.9% (95% CI 1.8 – 2.0%, difference before/after 2004 -0.9%, 95% CI -0.7 – -1.0%). In particular in the group of women in childbearing age a clear reduction of the rejection rates was noted (before 2004: 7.6% CI 7.2 – 8.1%, thereafter: 4.8% CI 4.4 – 5.2%, difference before/after 2004 -2.8%, 95% CI -2.2 – -3.4%). In conclusion, the introduction of systematic serum ferritin measurements allowed an optimized management of donors with iron deficiency, with efficacious prevention of iron deficiency anemia. This resulted in an increase of mean hemoglobin levels in blood donors particularly in women of childbearing age, the population at highest risk for iron deficiency anemia. Both the incidence of pre-donation anemia and the frequency of donors rejected due to low hemoglobin decreased significantly. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Objective. To determine the prevalence of anemia and iron status among Chilean women of childbearing age between 1981 and 2010. Materials and methods. Calculation of the prevalence of anemia and iron status was based on multiple cross-sectional iron absorption studies performed in 888 women during this period of time. All studies included measurements of hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, zinc protoporphyrin, percentage of transferrin saturation and serum ferritin. Data were grouped by decade (1981-1990, 1991-2000, and 2001-2010). Results. Prevalence of anemia for these decades was 9, 6 and 10%, respectively (p=NS). Iron deficiency anemia was the main cause of anemia in all periods (55, 85 and 75%, respectively; p=NS). A high prevalence of women with normal iron status was observed for all periods (64, 69, and 67, respectively; p=NS). Prevalence of iron deficiency without anemia in 1981-1990, 1991-2000 and 2001-2010 was 7, 20 and 12%, respectively (p<0.05). Finally, prevalence of iron depleted stores was 20, 6 and 10%, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusions. Prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in Chilean women of childbearing age was mild between 1981 and 2010. More than 60% of childbearing age women presented normal iron status in all periods. However, prevalence of iron depleted stores was moderate during 1981-1990, and was mild during 1991-2000 and 2001-2010.
