July 22, 2021 updated by: Caixia Liu, Shengjing Hospital

Prospective Study of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Twin Pregnancy

All pregnant women with twin pregnancies were given oral iron according to the current recommended dose. Blood routine and ferritin were monitored during pregnancy to understand the therapeutic effect of oral iron on iron deficiency anemia and iron deficiency in pregnant women with twin pregnancies

Detailed Description

All pregnant women with twin pregnancies were given oral iron according to the current recommended dose. Blood routine and ferritin were monitored every 2-4 weeks during pregnancy to understand the therapeutic effect of oral iron on iron deficiency anemia and iron deficiency in pregnant women with twin pregnancies.After delivery, we will test the neonatal ferritin and hemoglobin status. Our aim was to investigate the effects of iron supplementation during twin pregnancy on maternal and neonatal ferritin and anemia.
