Brief Summary:
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and the most common cause of anemia. Anemia has a significant impact on the health of the fetus as well as that of the mother. It impairs the oxygen delivery through the placenta to the fetus and interferes with the normal intrauterine growth, leading to fetal loss and perinatal deaths. Anemia is associated with increased preterm labor (28.2%), preeclampsia (31.2%), and maternal sepsis.
The study aims to compare the effect of Lactoferrin versus intravenous iron sucrose for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.

Detailed Description:
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and the most common cause of anemia. Anemia has a significant impact on the health of the fetus as well as that of the mother. It impairs the oxygen delivery through the placenta to the fetus and interferes with the normal intrauterine growth, leading to fetal loss and perinatal deaths. Anemia is associated with increased preterm labor (28.2%), preeclampsia (31.2%), and maternal sepsis.
The study aims to compare the effect of Lactoferrin versus intravenous iron sucrose for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
The study will include 100 pregnant women with moderate iron deficiency anemia. They will assigned randomly in to 2 groups. Each group will contain 50 patients.
The first group will receive intravenous iron sucrose (sacrofer 100mg/5ml)as 200 mg elemental iron in 100 ml 0.9 NaCl over 20-30 minutes up to the total dose -Total dose will be calculated from this equation=weight(kg)x(target Hb in g/dl-actual Hb in g/dl)x2.4+500 rounded up to the nearest multiple of 100 mg The second group will receive lactoferrin 100 mg twice daily orally before breakfast and before dinner (pravotin 100 mg sachets will be dissolved in ΒΌ glass of water). Patients will be advised to avoid coffee, milk products and antacid before and after the dose of lactoferrin.
1\. Baseline assessment:
All women in the study will be submitted to:
1. Complete History Taking Including:
* Personal history: This included name, age, duration of marriage, last menstrual period, parity, occupation and special habits.
* 1st day of last menstrual period.
* Estimated gestational age
* Contraceptive history
* Obstetric history Including:
* Full details of previous pregnancies (Date, outcome, onset and mode of delivery, gestational age at delivery and any associated complication or history of similar disorder, spacing between each pregnancy.
2. General Examination Included: Weight, height, body Mass Index (BMI), temperature, pulse, blood pressure, chest and cardiac examination, signs of anemia
3. Abdominal Examination
4. Fetal monitoring: To confirm fetal maturity and fetal wellbeing by non-stress test and biophysical profile.
5. U/S investigation: To confirm gestational age and exclude associated congenital anomalies.
Investigations:
* Complete blood sample (CBC), total iron binding capacity and Transferrin saturation will be done in Ain Shams Maternity Hospital Labs.
* Serum ferritin will be sent to any private lab.
* Kidney function tests and liver function tests. 2. Follow up assessment:
* Anemic pregnant women will be followed up every 4 weeks until delivery.
* In between visits, patients will be contacted via phone for monitoring of any side effects.
3\. End of study assessment:
* the same laboratory tests will be done with monitoring of any signs or symptoms of anemia until Hb level \> 11 g/dl
