| Abstract | ||
| Thrombocytopenia (TP) in general with anemia are common hematological (Hb) disorders that negatively affect the mother's and the fetus's health. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of thrombocytopenia and hemoglobin deficiency among pregnant women in Nasiriyah, Iraq, and assess the correlation between hemoglobin levels and specific reproductive factors.150 pregnant women (ages 20–35) were randomly selected for a descriptive cross-sectional study. attending Bint Al-Huda Hospital in the city of Nasiriyah- Iraq. Data were collected by reviewing medical records and laboratory tests (Hb level- platelet count- iron level). The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS V.26. The results showed show the mean gestational age was 7.05 ± 1.514 months while The average age of mothers was 26.66 ± 4.661 years. The hematological findings demonstrated mild reductions in hemoglobin and PCV values which may reflect physiological (Hb) adaptations during pregnancy . illustrates the correlation between (Hb) levels and various hematological parameters. The results showed a somewhat favorable relationship between hemoglobin with age (r = 0.067) but this correlation was not statistically significant (P = 0.419). The study concluded that anemia remains a common health problem among pregnant women, calling for enhanced prenatal care health education and therapeutic nutrition programs to reduce its prevalence and complications. | ||
