Abstract[Abstract] Serial observations for serum ferritin levels were made on healthy pregnant women with and without iron supplement from early pregnancy until 6 months postpartum. Without iron supplement, serum ferritin levels fell to less than 10ng/ml during the latter half of pregnancy, and did not return to the early pregnancy levels even at 6 months postpartum. These results indicate that without iron supplement the storage iron was exhausted during the latter half of pregnancy and was not replenished after pregnancy. With 800 mg of iron supplement, serum ferritin levels at late pregnancy and at 6 months postpartum did not differ from those at early pregnancy, suggesting that most of the supplemented iron was effectively utilized by the mother and fetus and the storage iron did not decrease while gravid. Our observations demonstrated that gestational anemia is mainly due to iron deficiency, and that iron supplement is an effective method for the prevention of gestational anemia.

Abstract「要旨」妊娠貧血の病態を鉄代謝の側面より解明すべく, 鉄剤非投与妊婦 (A群) , 鉄剤800mg投与妊婦 (B群) について, 妊娠初期より分娩後6か月にわたり, 貯蔵鉄の指標となる血清フェリチンをRIA法にて測定した. (1)A群の血清フェリチン値は妊娠中期・後期に激減し, 妊娠中期以降の貯蔵鉄の枯渇が明らかとなった. また, 分娩後6か月に至るも血清フェリチン値は依然低値を示し, 妊娠による貯蔵鉄の損失が示唆された. (2)一方, 従来より一回の妊娠による鉄損失量と推定されている800mgの鉄剤を投与したB群では, 妊娠初期と妊娠後期・分娩後6か月の血清フェリチン値に変動なく, 投与された鉄が有効に利用され, 妊娠による貯蔵鉄の損失は防がれたと考えられた.
