26 wrz 2024 · This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal changes in iron biomarkers across pregnancy and prevalence of iron deficiency in primiparous women in a high-resource setting and propose early pregnancy iron status cutoffs that predict iron deficiency in the third trimester.
The calculator below will help to determine the amount of iron that should be given to an iron deficient woman to increase her hemoglobin level from her current level to a desired target hemoglobin level.
