Overview

Review highlights the importance of maternal iron levels in pregnancy outcomes, emphasizing screening for deficiencies.

Key Points

  • To summarize iron regulatory mechanisms during pregnancy and evaluate screening and treatment options for iron disorders.
  • Review of existing literature on maternal iron homeostasis, deficiencies, and overload during pregnancy.
  • Evaluation of biomarkers and therapies related to maternal iron status.
  • Analysis of the effects of iron deficiency and overload on maternal and fetal health outcomes.
  • Iron deficiency anemia prevalence ranges from 12% to 80% among pregnant women globally.
  • Iron overload, although less common, is linked to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.
  • Highlights the need for improved screening and management strategies for maternal iron disorders.
