If Hgb goes below or remains beelow 10 after 3 weeks on that regimen, they are evaluated as to why, then specific therapy is started. Dan -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Chambers [mailto:cchamber@gorge.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 12:47 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: anemia in pregnancy We're having a debate among providers and thought I'd seek other's input regarding anemia. At what Hgb or Hct, do others treat anemia in pregnancy with iron? How much do others use? Is there any evidence to suggest that aggressive treatment affects fetal outcome? The majority of our opinions have been to treat for less than 32%, though others feel this is too aggressive. To give one iron tab q day, and no there doesn't seem to be much evidence to support this strategy. ************************************************************************ **** -- Charlie Chambers Hood River, OR USA cchamber@alumni.rice.edu "...not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant-and not nearly so much fun."

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
