ABSTRACT
one of the best index to study the mother's Iron level is to measure the serum ferritin. The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between the serum ferritin in mothers and newborns, and therefore we use these indexes to assess the Iron depletion enemia in above subjects.
In this study, hemoglobin, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation (%), serum iron, and total iron binding capacity were measured in blood from 52 mothers approximately one hour before delivery and in cord blood from 52 newborns after the birth.
This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. To measure the serum ferritin and hemoglobin, we used ELISA and Cyano-methemoglobin method respectively, also to measure Iron and TIBC the routine Kit's Laboratory is used. For analytical study the linear reggresion analyse has been applied.
Mathernal serum ferritin levels were 12.9 ± 8.9 ng/ml. This value of ferritin was lower than those of healthy (100 ng/ml) women. Mean serum ferritin level in blood newborn was 103±54.1 ng/ml and this was higher than adults. We observed an important positive correlation between serum ferritin values in maternal and newborn blood hemoglobin values.
The results of this study showed, those mothers that had'nt get Iron storages, their newborn's serum ferritin level analytically is variable.
