Abstract
|
|
|
To evaluate the effects of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) to the iron status of fetuses, umbilical cord blood of 35 newborn borne by PIH mothers and of 37 normal term infants delivered at Yeungnam University Hospital from September 1, 1993
to
September 30, 1994, were studied.
The serum hemoglobin concentration of women with PIH was significantly higher than normal full-term pregnant women.
There was no significant difference in serum hemoglobin concetration between women with PIH and normal full-term pregnant women and their newborn infants.
There was no significant difference in serum hemoglobin concentration between infants iof women with PIH and normal full-term infants.
The serum iron concentration of newborn infants of women with PIH was higher and the serum ferritin concentration of newborn infants of women with PIH was lower than normal full-term infants, but there were no significant difference between the
two
groups.
The serum total iron-binding capactity and unsaturated iron-binding capacity of infants of women with PIH were significantly higher than normal full-term infants.
The newborn infants of PIH women seemed that they might have occult depletion of iron store and need meticulous follow up during early neonatal period.
