  • Title: The relation between maternal and cord serum iron levels and its effect on fetal growth in iron deficient mothers without malarial infection.
    Author: Nhonoli AM, Kihama FE, Ramji BD.
    Journal: Br J Obstet Gynaecol; 1975 Jun; 82(6):467-70. PubMed ID: 1138832.
    Abstract:
    In this relatively iton deficient population both multiparous and primiparous pregnant women had similar serum iron levels. The mothers' levels had a linear correlation with the cord serum levels, but the lowest mean cord levels were above 100 mug./dl. maternal and cord blood haemoglobin levels,birthweights and placental weights showed no constant relation to the serum iron levels, and even in anaemic mothers the fetus was relatively non-asaemic with a haemoglobin level aroun 13 g./dl. In non-anaemic mothers the cord blood haemogloin rose rapidly and progressively.
