Anemia e deficiência de ferro em gestantes adolescentes Anemia and iron deficiency in pregnant adolescents
Por meio de dosagem de ferritina sérica, transferrina sérica, hemoglobina e hematócrito, caracterizou-se o estado nutricional de ferro de 79 gestantes adolescentes de primeira consulta pré-natal (<FONT FACE=Symbol>£ </FONT>20 semanas de gestação), atendidas na Rede Básica de Saúde de um Município da Grande São Paulo. Todos os valores hematológicos estudados foram menores entre as gestantes do segundo trimestre gestacional em relação às do primeiro, sendo as diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p<0,05) apenas para hemoglobina. Verificou-se que 64,3% e 32,1% possuíam, respectivamente, menos de 500 mg e 300 mg de ferro em suas reservas, sendo que 5,4% apresentavam carência grave do mineral. Segundo critério da Organização Mundial da Saúde 19,0% das gestantes eram ferro-deficientes (saturação da transferrina < 16,0 %) e 13,9% eram anêmicas (Hemoglobina < 11 g/dl).<br>The objective of this study was to characterize iron nutritional status of 79 pregnant adolescents, at first prenatal consultation (<= 20 weeks of gestation), in the Primary Health System of a district of Great São Paulo, through the serum ferritin, serum transferrin, hemoglobin and hematocrit determinations. All the hematologic values studied were smaller for the pregnant adolescents in the second gestational trimester than for the ones in the first. Statistically significant differences (p.<.0.05) were found just for hemoglobin. It was verified that 64.3% and 32.1% had, respectively, less than 500.mg and 300.mg of organic iron reservations, and 5.4% presented serious lack of this mineral. By World Health Organization criterion 19.0% of the pregnant women were iron-deficient (Saturation of Transferrin <.16%) and 13.9% were anemic (Hemoglobin.<.11 g/dl)
