title: [Iron deficiency as a risk factor during the perinatal period].
abstract: Iron deficiency as a risk factor in the perinatal period--the review of the literature. The presence of iron is necessary for the metabolic processes, erythropoiesis, oxygen transport and respiration, thermoregulation and humoral and cellular immunity. Iron deficiency decreases the amplitude of adaptation of the pregnant women. It might be responsible for abortion or preterm labour as well as disarrangement of myometrial activity during labour and puerperium. Congenital fetal malformations and intrauterine growth retardation might be also stimulated by iron deficiency.
