Anaemia complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium - what does this mean
Anaemia complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium is caused by a deficiency in the amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin in the body. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor nutrition, infections, maternal blood loss during delivery, and the increased demand for oxygen from the fetus. iron supplementation and other nutritional support may be necessary to treat the condition.
What happens during the disease - anaemia complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium
Anaemia complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium is caused by a combination of factors, including increased demand for iron due to the rapid growth of the fetus, increased blood volume and red cell mass, and increased iron losses due to bleeding during delivery or postpartum haemorrhage. as a result, the body’s iron stores become depleted, leading to a decrease in the production of red blood cells and haemoglobin, resulting in anaemia.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete blood count (CBC) to measure red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
- Serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation
- Serum ferritin
- Serum vitamin B12 and folate
- Blood smear to check for abnormal red blood cell morphology
- Urinalysis to check for hematuria
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to check for hypothyroidism
- Imaging studies such as X-rays or ultrasounds to check for any underlying causes
