Postpartum women donating blood showed lower serum ferritin levels, particularly with increased age and parity. Iron supplementation during pregnancy significantly improved these levels, suggesting its importance for replenishing iron stores.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Reproductive Health

Context:

  • Assesses iron status in female blood donors postpartum.
  • Investigates factors influencing serum ferritin levels after childbirth.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate serum ferritin levels in women 9-60 months postpartum.
  • To determine the impact of parity, age, and iron supplementation on iron status.

Summary:

  • Mean serum ferritin was 21.5 µg/L in postpartum donors vs. 39.4 µg/L in controls.
  • Serum ferritin decreased with increasing age and parity.
  • Iron supplementation during pregnancy showed a statistically significant positive effect on serum ferritin.

Impact:

  • Highlights potential iron deficiency in postpartum women.
