July 7, 2017 updated by: Ahmed Mohamed Abbas, Assiut University

Total Dose Infusion of Iron Dextran Versus Oral Iron for Treating Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pregnant Women: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutritional deficiency and the most common cause of anemia .It is characterized by a defect in hemoglobin synthesis, resulting in red blood cells that are abnormally small (microcytic) and contain a decreased amount of hemoglobin (hypochromic).
