To Study of Hepcidin Levels and Certain Hematological Parameters in Pregnant Women

The present study was designed to find the relation between certain hematological parameters and pregnancy. The study used one hundred volunteers (seventy five pregnant women and twenty five non-pregnant women). Then, pregnant women divided into three subgroups according to the trimester (first trimester, second trimester and third trimester). Hematological tests showed significant increased (P<0.05) in TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) and significant decreased (P<0.05) in Hepcidin, ferritin, Iron, Hb (hemoglobin) and MCV (mean corpuscular volume) compared with non-pregnant women group. Third trimester show a high affected according to the results compare with other trimesters. It was concluded from this study that the pregnancy led to several hematological parameters change.
