Abstract :

Anemia is not only the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world but also the most common nutritional deficiency in pregnancy. India has the highest prevalence of anemia in pregnancy. Although physiological anemia (Normocytic normochromic) due to hemodilution is a natural phenomenon seen in pregnancy but iron deficiency (Microcytic hypochromic) is by far the most important cause worldwide. It has multiple deleterious effects on mother as well as her child. In our study we drew inferences on types of anemia and its causes in pregnancy and their outcome.The complete blood hemogram, Red cell indices and Peripheral smear are routinely available investigations which are valuable in determining the type of anemia, its aetiology, and need of special investigations.Timely applied these parameters can help in early detection and prompt treatment of the condition. Maternal education can ing down the incidence of anemia and low birth weight in fetus.
