increased risk of low birth weight, maternal mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to estimate the
prevalence of anaemia which helps in planning our maternal health programme. A hospital based, cross-sectional study
was conducted among 104 pregnant women, in their first trimester to assess the prevalence of anaemia in rural Krishna.
The study was carried out at Dr PSIMS & RF Hospital , Chinnavutapalli. Only those who visited the hospital were
enrolled in the study. Lablife H3D Premier automated haematology analyser was used for estimation of haemoglobin,
MCV and MCH. Anaemia was classified as per the World Health Organization (WHO) grading criteria as mild 10 -11
gms%, moderate 7 to 9.9 gms % and severe below 7 gms %.. The present study revealed that 93.26 % of pregnant
women were anaemic and their mean Hb was 10.37 ± 0.94 g/dl, mean MCV was 72.65 ± 6.53 fl and their mean MCH
was 26.75 ± 2.75 pg. Among them, 73.07% had mild anaemia, 20.19 % had moderate anaemic & none had severe
anaemia. In Mild anaemia, the mean Hb was 10.78 ± 0.5 g/dl while in moderate anaemia, the mean Hb was 8.94±
0.625g/dl . Anaemia in 1st trimester of pregnancy was endemic and microcytic, hypochromic anaemia is most common
in this region.
Keywords: Anaemia; Pregnancy; Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV); Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH).

Studies implicate that increased body iron stores and subclinical hemochromatosis has been associated with the development of glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, and its micro as well as macrovascular complications. This study was carried out to examine and to observe for any relationship between serum ferritin with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and HbA1c levels and its complications. Study population included 50 type 2 diabetes patients(M:F=32:18, mean age 55.5±9.7 years, mean BMI 23.8kg/m2 ) .Majority were healthy outpatients who had come for regular checkup and were matched with controls.FBS ,PPBS, HbA1c, serum ferritin and lipid profile were estimated and other investigations where ever required. Results showed that although Serum ferritin was in the normal range value it was increased in type2 diabetes patients when than in controls and was statistically significant, we did get a positive correlation with duration of diabetes. I can be concluded that there was positive correlation between serum ferritin and type 2diabetes. There was no correlation between serum ferritin and HbA1c, age, sex, metabolic syndrome, coexistent hypertension, total cholesterol, LDL (low density lipoprotein) and serum triglycerides.
