Assessment of Hepcidin‐25 and Iron Status Profiles in Pregnant Women With Thalassemia Minor
Hepcidin-25 levels are significantly lower in pregnant women with thalassemia minor, but other iron profiles in these women are comparable to those in normal pregnancies, with no evidence of iron overload. Pregnancy with thalassemia minor is associated with mild anemia that cannot be fully corrected by iron supplementation. However, iron supplementation does not lead to iron overload and should be prescribed as part of standard antenatal care.
