title: [Treatment of anemia in pregnant women with an animal blood preparation, "Livex"].
abstract: The animal blood preparation Livex obtained from the Agricultural Academy in Wrocław was used for treatment of anaemia of pregnancy. During four weeks of treatment (3 x 7.0 g of Livex added to diet) a statistically significant increase was found of anaemia parameters such as haemoglobin level, value of haematocrit, red blood cell count, and mean corpuscular volume. Other parameters such as mean corpuscular haemoglobin mass, and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration were also increased but statistically insignificantly. Livex is an effective and safe preparation causing no side effects in view of the presence of certain trace elements in it, especially iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, and selenium. The use of this preparation in the treatment of anaemia of pregnancy is a natural and effective method of erythropoietic process stimulation.
