Abstract

Background & Method: The aim of the study is to study Prone of Iron Deficiency Anemia Patients to Cardiovascular Disease. Only subjects diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia with haemoglobin levels <10 gm% were included in the study. Patients with diagnosed cardiovascular disease, those who are suffering from any major chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension or any other endocrine disorder, patients on long term medications and pregnant women were excluded from the study. Result: Negative correlation (<0.3) were found between serum ferritin and MDA and homocysteine. Also negative correlation was found between MDA and homocysteine. Thus, an inverse relation exists between serum ferritin and markers of oxidative stress.
