Intravenous Iron Versus Oral Iron for Severe Postpartum Anemia

Anemia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Intravenous Iron Versus Oral Iron for Severe Postpartum Anemia Randomized Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of intravenous versus oral iron in women with severe postpartum anemia.

Clinical Trial Description

Postpartum anemia is commonly defined as hemoglobin levels less than 8.5 g/dl and it is usually treated with oral iron supplements. Blood transfusion is reserved to women with hemoglobin levels < 6 g/dl and/or clinical symptoms of anemia. Without treatment, the restoration of blood parameters in postpartum anemia can take approximately one month (hemoglobin levels increase to 2.8 g/dl in 30 days). Several reports have demonstrated the efficacy of intravenous iron in severe anemia in non-obstetric pathologies. However, the clinical effect of intravenous iron in patients with postpartum hemoglobin levels ranging from 6.0 to 8.0 g/dl has been not reported. There has not been evaluated its capacity to restore hemoglobin levels and to minimize clinical side-effects of anemia (sickness, weariness, depression, anxiety). ;
