BACKGROUND Anaemia appears to be the rule rather than exception in our population. Females are most vulnerable and in pregnancy a woman is further pushed to an edge in this regard. Iron deficiency a preventable cause is the most common factor. Screening of the pregnant woman as early as possible and correcting anaemia is the priority of every clinician. Evaluation of CBC with the help of an automatic cell counter is immensely helpful in mass screening, much so in pregnant women where early detection with appropriate treatment will avoid many untoward effects both in mother and newborn.

“…This is in line with a study conducted in Sidama zone, southern Ethiopia in which women with parity of 1-2, 3-4 and 5 or more had 2.17, 2.26 and 2.83 times increased odds of anemia compared to nulliparous mothers [32]; and Wolaita Sodo, southern Ethiopia in which multigravida mothers had higher odds of anemia [33]. This may be due to the reason that repeated and frequent births may not provide sufficient time period to replenish lost nutrient stores before another child birth [34]. The risk will be substantially aggravated among mothers whose feeding practice is poor [35].…”

Factors Associated with Anemia among Lactating Mothers in Subsistence Farming Households from Selected Districts of Jimma Zone, South Western Ethiopia: A Community Based Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: Anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder affecting one third of the global population. Lactating mothers are more susceptible because of maternal iron depletion during lactation, blood loss during childbirth and inadequate nutrient intake. Morbidity associated with chronic anemia extends to loss of productivity from impaired work capacity, cognitive impairment, and increased susceptibility to infection. Nevertheless, many Ethiopian mothers remained anemic yet the availability of information is limited.

Trimester specific reference ranges of hematological indices were described in several populations; however, comparable reports among Sudanese women with normal pregnancy are lacking. To evaluate trimester pattern of change and reference ranges of hematological profile among Sudanese women with normal pregnancy, we followed 143 women with singleton gestation since early pregnancy until the third trimester in Saad Abu-Alela Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan, during the period of January-December 2015. Obstetrics and medical history was gathered using questionnaire and hematological profile was investigated using hemo-analyser. The first, second and third trimester mean (SD) [5th-95th centile] of hematological profile were as follow: RBC counts 4.30 (0.36) [3.69-4.93], 4.35 (0.36) [3.69-4.93], 4.08 (0.44) [3.44-4.78] ×106/mm3; hemoglobin concentration 10.81 (1.22) [8.92-12.74], 10.62 (0.93) [9.00-12.10], 10.83 (1.13) [8.82-12.60] g/dL; hematocrit 35.38 (3.52) [30.12-40.30], 34.43 (2.51) [30.58-38.23], 35.17 (3.18) 29.66-40.04] %; WBC counts 7.69 (1.96) [4.36-11.20], 8.45 (1.97) [5.48-12.13], 8.36 (2.11) [5.00-11.96] ×103/mm3; platelet counts 278.02 (66.93) [182.6-418.0], 251.96 (64.17) [163.8-381.8], 238.36 (57.10) [150.4-346.2] ×103/mm3. The present study is the first to establish trimester specific, reference range for hematological profile among Sudanese women with normal pregnancy. The trimester reference range of RBC, WBC and platelets and other hematological indices are mostly parallel to international records.
