ABSTRACT:
Aim: To determine the effect of intravenous iron therapy on the mean increase in Hb (hemoglobin) in children not responding to oral iron therapy in iron deficiency anemia. Study design: quasi-experimental study. Place and Duration: The study was conducted in the Pediatric Unit-II of Jinnah Hospital Lahore for six-months duration from February 2020 to July 2020. Methods: A total of fifty (50) cases 1-10 years of age were included in both sexes visiting the Multan Military Hospital outpatient (OPD) with iron deficiency anemia less than 8 g / dl who did not respond to three months of oral iron therapy. In a research. Results: In this study, the mean and standard deviation for age were calculated as 6.75 + 2.69 years, 30 (60%) are males and 20 (40%) are females, mean Hb levels (g / dl) were calculated on the line baseline (before therapy). ) were 7.12 + 0.59 Hb g / dl, while these post-treatment results were reported as 9.33 + 0.50 g / dl, Conclusion: We concluded that intravenous iron therapy to increase mean Hb (hemoglobin) levels in children not responding to oral iron therapy for iron deficiency anemia is an effective treatment option and may be recommended in our population. Key words: Children, iron deficiency anemia, non-response to oral therapy, intravenous therapy,
