Abstract:

The current research was conducted on 50 blood samples, 30 of which were from women pregnant with anima caused by iron deficiency and healthy pregnant women, whose ages were between (20-40) years. The blood samples were collected from Samarra General Hospital and outpatient medical clinics, a period between 1 / 11 / 2023 – 15/1 / 2024. after which samples were collected from patients and healthy women and were separated by a centrifuge. Then biochemical variables were measured, which included (Packed cell volume - PCV%, Hemoglobin -Hb, Iron, Ferritin, Tumor necrosis factor-TNF-α). The results of the current study showed a significant decrease in each of the (PCV%, Hb, Iron, and Ferritin) concentrations in the groups of patients compared to healthy women, also the result showed a significant increase in (TNF-α) in patient groups compared to healthy women.
