  Pregnant anaemic patients of Sargodha region were asked to take oral iron supplementation (150 mg per day) in the form of available medicines up to the period of two months. Blood samples were collected before the initiation of treatment and secondly after the two months of treatment. Evaluation of serum minerals shows that, iron level increases from 65 μg/dl-75 μg/dl in Group-1 and 62 μg/dl-78 μg/dl in Group-2 before and after supplementation respectively this increase is statistically significant (p=0.000). Results shows that iron supplementations have no effect on serum calcium. So values of serum calcium remain same after two months in both groups. Change in P values are statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The mean values of serum calcium remains same in Group-1 is 8.9-9.1 mg/dl (p=0.07), SD=0.66-0.7 and in Group-2 it is 9.0-9.1 mg/dl (p=0.83), SD=0.6-0.7 .. Read More»
