Aim: The aim of the study is to know whether intravenous iron sucrose can be a better alternative in terms of safety and efficacy over blood transfusion in the treatment of anaemia in post-partum. Materials and methods: This are prospective study is conducted in obstetrics and gynaecology Department . All these women are randomly assigned (50 women total , 25 in each group) to receive either 2 doses of intravenous iron sucrose(Group A) or blood transfusion (Group B). Haemoglobin, hemocrit, mean corpuscular volume and serum ferritin estimation is done before treatment and after 1 wk. of correction in both groups to note the improvement in values and monitored for adverse reactions. Results: There is statically significant rise in haemoglobin , hemocrit , mean corpuscular volume , and serum ferritin levels when compared to baseline after 1 week of treatment in both groups. Statistically insignificant rise in mean Hb,Hct was observed when iron sucrose group is compared to blood transfusion group. Conclusion: Intravenous iron sucrose is safe , efficacious and cost-effective treatment for post-partum anaemia. It may be an attractive to blood transfusion which may be associated with minor and major reactions.
