AB - Hemodynamic changes occur in pregnancy to prepare for expected blood loss at
delivery. Physiologic anemia occurs in pregnancy because plasma volume
increases
more quickly than red cell mass. Anemia is most commonly classified as
microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic. Iron deficiency anemia accounts for
75% of
all anemias in pregnancy. Oral iron supplementation is the recommended
treatment
of iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy. Parenteral iron and erythropoietin
can
also be used in severe or refractory cases. Outcomes and treatments for other
forms of inherited and acquired anemias in pregnancy vary by disease, and
include
nutritional supplementation, corticosteroids, supportive transfusions, and
splenectomy.
