Abstract:
The physiological fall in haemogobine level in pregnancy, sometime result
in level less than 11g\d, it is very rarely reduce the level below 10g\d. the
possibility of another cause of anemia should be considered in all patient
with level lower that 11.5 g\d. (Frikin, 1996). The aim of this study to
measure Hb, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RBCs. in Sudanese multiparous
pregnant women attended to Saudi Hospital and El Hattana Medical Center.
This is a cross sectional case control descriptive analytical study conducted
in Saudi Hospital and El Hattana Medical Center during period from May
20, up to July 25, 2013.
Five ml of venous blood was collected in EDTA anticoagulant container
from fifty multiparous pregnant women, and thirty as control automated
hematological analyzer (Sysmex K X – 2 IN) was used. Thin blood film was
examined manually to comment on type and severity of anemia. The result
reveled that means of Hb, PCV MCV, MCH, MCHC, RBC. were 8.4 g\d,
56%,, 26.6%, 77 fl, 24.3 pg, 31%, 3.8 x 106 cumm, respectively. These
results showed that the frequency of microcytic hypochromic anemia 40%,
normochromic normocytic 60%.
This study concluded that normochromic normocytic is most common type
of anemia, while microcytic hypochromic anemia is common type in
multiparous pregnant women.
