Does oral iron supplementation have an erythropoietic effect?

David Taylor

Carol Mallen

T. Lind

Abstract: Haematological indices and serum ferritin were measured for 6 months in 20 healthy non-pregnant women, nine of whom took oral iron supplements. Whereas the mean serum ferritin concentration increased from 16.2 pg/1 to 41.7 pg/l during oral iron supplementation, the mean haemoglobin concentration remained unchanged at 13.5 g/dl. No stimulatory action of iron on erythropoiesis could be demonstrated.

Interpregnancy WIC supplementation was evaluated by comparing maternal nutritional status indicators and subsequent birth outcomes of 703 WIC participants divided into two groups. Study group women received postpartum benefits for 5-7 mo while control group women received postpartum benefits for only 0-2 mo. Both groups received prenatal benefits during each of two study pregnancies. Infants born to study group women had a higher mean birthweight (131 g) and birthlength (0.3 cm) and a lower risk of being less than or equal to 2500 g. Additionally, at the onset of the second pregnancy study group women had higher mean hemoglobin levels and lower risk of maternal obesity. These results suggest that postpartum WIC supplementation has positive benefits for both the mother and her subsequent infants.

Erythropoiesis in pregnancy

et al. 1986

The reticulocyte count, serum ferritin and serum erythropoietin concentrations were measured during the course of pregnancy in 41 women. A decrease in iron stores early in pregnancy was accompanied by a significant rise in the reticulocyte count until the 28th week. Erythropoietin levels did not rise significantly until the 28th week of pregnancy and had fallen to the post-natal level by 40 weeks. The results are consistent with an increase in erythropoietic activity early in pregnancy which did not appear to depend upon increased plasma erythropoietin levels.

Maternal immunosuppression with azathioprine during prcgnancy can depress fetal haemopoiesis resulting in neonatal thrombocytopenia and leucopenia with the potential for serious sequelae. The effect on the infant of adjusting azathioprine dosage on the basis of maternal total leucocyte count has been studied in 10 pregnancies in eight renal allograft recipients. Throughout the first six pregnancies azathioprine dosage was unchanged and although the characteristic pregnancy leucocytosis was evident it was not maintained in four patients whose leucocyte counts by 32 weeks gestation were significantly less than our norm [10-3 (SD 1.7) x1Oq/I] and who subsequently had babies with cord leucocyte counts G 8 . 0~ 10y/l, again significantly less than our norm [ 13.7 (SD 3.9) x 1O9/I]. A significant correlation existed hetwecn maternal leucocyte counts at 32 weeks gcstation and at delivery and cord leucocyte count (r=O.847; P
