孕妇铁缺乏早期指标及干预措施的研究 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
目的:探讨孕期妇女铁缺乏早期诊断指标及干预措施。方法:抽取2003年10月1日~2004年4月30日,在宁波市8家妇幼保健院做早孕检查时排除贫血的孕妇982例,于孕16周测定血清铁蛋白(SF),并将SF<12μg/L191例孕妇分为干预组和对照组,干预组予铁剂治疗。结果:铁蛋白<12μg/L与铁蛋白≥12μg/L孕中、晚贫血患病率比较,差异有显著性(P<0.05);干预组和对照组在孕晚期贫血患病率比较差异有显著性(P<0.01)。结论:SF作为妊娠期铁缺乏的诊断指标是可行的,尤其是在基层医院;孕期提示铁缺乏的孕妇应及时补充铁剂,可减少孕妇缺铁性贫血(IDA)的发生。 相似文献

目的 探讨全血铁蛋白在早期发现孕期缺铁性贫血中的应用价值. 方法 选择50名在妇科门诊接受产前检查的孕妇,使用血细胞分析仪检测Hb,胶体金法检测全血铁蛋白,酶联免疫检测法(ELISA)检测血浆铁蛋白. 结果 50例标本中,全血铁蛋白铁缺乏检出比例为48.0%,其中贫血者和非贫血者分别占29.2%和70.8%;血清铁蛋白铁缺乏检出比例为50.0%,其中贫血者和非贫血者分别占28.0%和72.0%;全血铁蛋白组与血清铁蛋白组铁缺乏、贫血和非贫血检出比例比较,差异均无统计学意义. 结论 全血铁蛋白是诊断孕妇早期缺铁性贫血的一个非常敏感的指标,与血浆铁蛋白检测结果有良好的一致性,且检测方法更方便、快捷. 相似文献

In HIV-infected populations from developing countries, it is unclear what proportion of anemia is attributable to iron deficiency (ID) and whether high body iron stores worsen HIV disease progression. We therefore evaluated these research questions in 584 HIV-infected Tanzanian women. Hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were evaluated between 13 and 43 wk after women gave birth. ID was defined as SF or sTfR outside normal ranges, and ID anemia (IDA) as ID plus low Hb. In multivariate Cox regression models, the association between SF and HIV disease progression was assessed. Participants received iron + folate supplements during pregnancy. Hb (r = -0.159; P = 0.0001), SF (r = 0.355; P < 0.0001), and sTfR/log SF index (r = -0.119; P = 0.004) were related to CRP, whereas sTfR (r = 0.029; P = 0.48) was not. Prevalence estimates were 39.7% for ID and 23.6% for IDA. ID was associated with 48.9% of anemia cases. Categories of SF were not significantly associated with HIV-related mortality or progression to stage 4. Nevertheless, SF > 150.0 microg/L was related to a nonsignificantly elevated risk of progression to stage 4 (rate ratio = 1.78; 95% CI = 0.68-4.64; P = 0.24) compared with SF < 12.0 microg/L. In HIV-infected, parous women from sub-Saharan Africa, ID is of moderately high prevalence and is an important underlying cause of anemia. High storage iron does not appear to be related to HIV disease progression in this population, but more research on the role of iron during HIV disease is needed. 相似文献

Using data from the current National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2000), the authors assessed whether Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in the United States. Iron deficiency was defined as at least two abnormal results out of three biomarkers of iron stores. IDA was defined as a low hemoglobin level in the presence of iron deficiency. H. pylori infection was measured by serology. Complex survey estimators were used in the analysis. For 7,462 survey participants aged >or=3 years, H. pylori infection was associated with decreased serum ferritin levels (percent change = -13.9%, 95% confidence interval (CI): -19.5, -8.0) but not with levels of free erythrocyte protoporphyrin, transferrin saturation, or hemoglobin (percent change = 1.5%, -2.8%, and -1.1%, respectively). Multinomial logistic regression analyses indicated that H. pylori infection was associated with the prevalence of IDA (prevalence odds ratio (POR) = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.5, 4.6) and, to a lesser degree, other types of anemia (POR = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.0, 1.7). H. pylori infection was associated with a 40% increase in the prevalence of iron deficiency (POR = 1.4, 95% CI: 0.9, 2.0) after controlling for relevant covariates. In the United States, H. pylori infection was associated with iron deficiency/IDA regardless of the presence or absence of peptic ulcer disease. 相似文献

Iron status, prevalence of iron deficiency and elevated iron stores, and the effect of gastrointestinal ulceration on iron status in free-living Taiwanese elderly persons were all assessed in a nationally representative, cross-sectional nutrition survey--the Elderly NAHSIT. The survey included blood measurements of iron indices. Data were collected from 1202 elderly men and 1152 elderly women aged 65 years and older. Multiple iron measures, including serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (Tsat), and hemoglobin were used to evaluate the prevalence of iron deficient erythropoiesis (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Despite no routine practice of iron fortification in Taiwan, elderly subjects had a low prevalence of ID and IDA. The prevalence of ID was 2.3% in men and 1.4% in women. The prevalence of IDA was 2.5% in men and 2.0% in women. In contrast, 15.7% of men and 9.8% of women had elevated iron stores as diagnosed by SF>300 microg/L. Subjects with a history of gastrointestinal ulceration had significantly lower serum ferritin than those without ulcers, but the prevalence of anemia, ID and IDA was unaffected. In conclusion, elderly people in Taiwan are an iron-replete population with a high prevalence of elevated iron stores and a low prevalence of iron deficiency. 相似文献

Data on the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in children in Mongolia is limited. We therefore determined the prevalence of anaemia, iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), and deficiencies of iron, folate, vitamin A, zinc, selenium, and vitamin D among young Mongolian children. Anthropometry and non-fasting morning blood samples were collected from 243 children aged 6-36 months from 4 districts in Ulaanbaatar and 4 rural capitols for haemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin, folate, retinol, zinc, selenium, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) assays. Children with alpha-1-glycoprotein >1.2mg/L (n=27) indicative of chronic infection were excluded, except for folate, selenium, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D assays. Of the children 14.5% were stunted and none were wasted. Zn deficiency (serum Zn <9.9 micromol/L) had the highest prevalence (74%), followed by vitamin D deficiency 61% (serum 25-OHD<25 nmol/L). The prevalence of anaemia (24%) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) (16%) was lower, with the oldest children (24-36 mos) at lowest risk. Twenty one percent of the children had low iron stores, and 33% had vitamin A deficiencies (serum retinol < 0.70 micromol/L), even though two thirds had received vitamin A supplements. Serum selenium values were low, perhaps associated with low soil selenium concentrations. In contrast, no children in Ulaanbaatar and only 4% in the provincial capitols had low serum folate values (<6.8 nmol/L). Regional differences (p<0.05) existed for anaemia, deficiencies of vitamin A, folate, and selenium, but not for zinc or IDA. Of the children, 78% were at risk of > or = two coexisting micronutrient deficiencies emphasizing the need for multimicronutrient interventions in Mongolia. 相似文献

Supplementation with iron is generally recommended during pregnancy to meet the iron needs of both mother and fetus. When detected early in pregnancy, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is associated with a > 2-fold increase in the risk of preterm delivery. Maternal anemia when diagnosed before midpregnancy is also associated with an increased risk of preterm birth. Results of recent randomized clinical trials in the United States and in Nepal that involved early supplementation with iron showed some reduction in risk of low birth weight or preterm low birth weight, but not preterm delivery. During the 3rd trimester, maternal anemia usually is not associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and may be an indicator of an expanded maternal plasma volume. High levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and ferritin are associated with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction, preterm delivery, and preeclampsia. While iron supplementation increases maternal iron status and stores, factors that underlie adverse pregnancy outcome are considered to result in this association, not iron supplements. On the other hand, iron supplements and increased iron stores have recently been linked to maternal complications (eg, gestational diabetes) and increased oxidative stress during pregnancy. Consequently, while iron supplementation may improve pregnancy outcome when the mother is iron deficient it is also possible that prophylactic supplementation may increase risk when the mother does not have iron deficiency or IDA. Anemia and IDA are not synonymous, even among low-income minority women in their reproductive years. 相似文献
