pregnancy complicated by iron deficiency anemia

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common anemia during pregnancy, accounting for approximately 95% of pregnancy-related anemia. The main causes of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy include increased iron requirements, insufficient maternal iron stores, inadequate dietary iron intake, and diseases before and after pregnancy. Iron deficiency anemia can have varying degrees of impact on both the mother and fetus. Severe anemia can easily lead to perinatal and maternal death and should be given high priority.
