16
Q

What is anemia

A

Decrease in oxygen carrying capacity of blood due to quantitative or qualitative decrease in RBC and hb concentration in blood

17

Severe-4-7
Very severe -<4

18

Conservation of iron due to amenorrhea -300 mg
Total requirment -1000 mg

20
Q

Physiological anemia in pregnancy
