Maternal hemoglobin level and fetal outcome at low and high altitudes.
Both, low (<7 g/dl) and high (>14.5 g/dl), maternal hemoglobin (Hb) levels have been related to poor fetal outcome. Most studies have been done at low altitude (LA). Here, we have sought to determine whether this relationship exists at both high and low altitude, and also whether there is an adverse effect of high altitude (HA) on fetal outcome independent of level of maternal hemoglobin. The s...
متن کاملO-28: High Maternal Hemoglobin Concentration and Preeclampsia
Background: High maternal hemoglobin concentration has been increasingly linked to poor pregnancy outcomes in recent years. This study was aimed to determine whether high maternal hemoglobin (Hb) in first trimester is associated with preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: In 2009 a retrospective study was conducted and demographic and obstetric records of 1513 low risk pregnant mother registered ...
متن کاملLetter: Increased hemoglobin-oxygen affinity at extremely high altitudes.
Eaton et al. (1) stated that "increased, rather than decreased, oxygen affinity is an effective mode of short-term adaptation to markedly reduced environmental oxygen pressures" and pointed out the need to reevaluate the idea that "decreased hemoglobin-oxygen affinity is of adaptive value to humans at high altitudes." We fully agree with these authors and wish to call attention to the fact that...
متن کاملPulmonary circulation of the llama at high and low altitudes.
We have studied the pulmonary circulation of three closely related animals, the llama, alpaca, and guanaco. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 12 llamas and one alpaca indigenous to high altitude in the Andes was found to be slightly but significantly higher than that of three llamas and three guanacos born and bred at low altitude in England. On the other hand, the medial thickness of the...
متن کاملRole of XmnIgG Polymorphism in Hydroxyurea Treatment and Fetal Hemoglobin Level at Isfahanian Intermediate β-Thalassemia Patients
Background: &beta-thalassemia is the most common monogenic disorder in human. The (CT) polymorphism at -158 upstream region of the &gammaG-globin gene and pharmacological factors such as hydroxyurea have been reported to influence &gamma-globin gene expression and the severity of clinical symptoms of &beta-thalassemia. Methods: In the present study, 51 &beta-thalassemia intermediate patients w...
