ABSTRAK  Anemia merupakan masalah global terutama bagi ibu hamil. Penyebab utama anemia pada kehamilan adalah defisiensi besi kemudian diikuti oleh defisiensi folat. WHO memperkirakan angka kejadian anemia sekitar 42 % terjadi pada ibu hamil dengan kondisi ekonomi menengah kebawah. Tujuan Pengabdian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu hamil. tentang anemia defisensi besi dan pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin sebagai deteksi dini mandiri di Desa Matang Seulimeng wilayah kerja Puskesmas Langsa Barat Kota Langsa. Bentuk kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat adalah dengan metode penyuluhan dengan ceramah dan tanya jawab. Sedangkan deteksi dini resiko tinggi dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin dan setelah 2 minggu intervensi dilakukan evaluasi ibu hamil anemia dengan pemeriksaan kadar Hemoglobin. Terjadi perubahan peningkatan pengetahuan baik sebesar 85 % dan hasil pemeriksaan hemoglobin dari 18 ibu hamil anemia setelah evaluasi menjadi 67,8 %  tidak anemia .Penilaian mengenai pemahaman ibu hamil tentang edukasi anemia Defisiensi besi dan pemeriksaan Hemoglobin sebagai deteksi dini resiko pada ibu hamil adalah 3 (tiga) tahap (tahap pretest, tahap penyuluhan, dan tahap posttest serta evaluasi ibu hamil anemia). Adanya peningkatan pengetahuan setelah diberikan edukasi anemia defisiensi pada ibu hamil, dan mampu melakukan deteksi dini mandiri tanda gejala anemia sehingga mendapat penanganan sesegera mungkin. Kata Kunci : anemia defisiensi zat besi, kadar hemoglobin, deteksi dini, ibu hamil  ABSTRACT  Anemia is a global problem, especially for pregnant women. The main cause of anemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency followed by folate deficiency. WHO estimates that the incidence of anemia is around 42% in pregnant women with middle to lower economic conditions. The purpose of this service is to increase the knowledge of pregnant women. regarding iron deficiency anemia and hemoglobin level examination as an independent early detection in Matang Seulimeng Village, the working area of Langsa Barat Health Center, Langsa City. The form of community service activities is the extension method with lectures and questions and answers. Meanwhile, early detection of high risk is carried out by examining hemoglobin levels and after 2 weeks of intervention, pregnant women with anemia are evaluated by examining hemoglobin levels. There was an increase in knowledge of both 85% and the results of hemoglobin examination from 18 anemic pregnant women after the evaluation became 67.8% not anemic. An assessment of the understanding of pregnant women about iron deficiency anemia education and hemoglobin examination as early detection of risk in pregnant women is 3 (three) stages (pretest stage, counseling stage, and posttest stage and evaluation of anemic pregnant women). There is an increase in knowledge after being given education on deficiency anemia in pregnant women, and being able to independently detect early signs of anemia so that they get treatment as soon as possible. Keywords: iron deficiency anemia, hemoglobin levels, early detection, pregnant women

Background The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains high in Indonesian children. When anemia is detected in a patient, the physician’s task is to identify the cause, address it, provide iron therapy, and prevent recurrence. However, prevention is best done by early detection. The reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) is a direct measurement of iron level in reticulocytes recently produced in the bone marrow. The Ret-He measurement may be an early indicator of iron deficiency, as it is sensitive at the initial stage of the condition.Objective To assess for a relationship between Ret-He and IDA as well as to evaluate the usefulness of Ret-He for diagnosing IDA in children.Methods This analytic, observational study with cross-sectional approach included 50 children aged 6-12 years and was performed from November 2013 to March 2014. The subjects were divided into IDA or non-IDA groups, based on ferritin levels. A correlation analysis using logistic regression was performed and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and odds ratio (OR) were calculated. Results were considered to be statistically significant for P values <0.05.Results A low Ret-He level was significantly associated with IDA in children (P=0.005). The Ret-He cut-off point of 27.8 pg/L had sensitivity of 43.8%, specificity 85.3%, PPV 58.3%, and NPV 76.3%, with OR 4.5 (95%CI 1.1 to 17.7).Conclusion We find a significant positive relationship between Haemoglobin (Hb) and Ret-He in children, A low level of Ret-He is associated with greater risk of IDA in children. The Ret-He has a high specificity. As such, Ret-He may be useful as a screening tool for early detection of IDA in children.

There was executed the examination and treatment of 68 pregnant patients with diagnosed mild iron deficiency anemia (IDA) at gestational age from 12th to 34th weeks. There was estimated the efficacy of the combine preparation of iron and trace elements (iron gluconate, copper gluconate, manganese gluconate) in the treatment of IDA. Early detection of IDA, timely prevention and treatment with the use of this preparation allowed to reduce the rate of obstetric and perinatal complications.
