Abstract
The problem of iron deficiency is urgent in many countries, regardless of the socio-economic standards of living. Among biomedical problems, the study of biochemical blood parameters is of paramount importance. A great interest in various aspects of this issue is not accidental, since the transport function of the blood largely depends on it and, consequently, the efficient delivery of oxygen, glucose, amino acids, fats, vitamins, mineral salts, hormones, mediators, antibodies and metabolites to the micro-zones in the tissues. The purpose of this article is to study the hematological status and the state of the red blood cell membrane in women of reproductive age suffering from iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a combination of clinical and hematological symptoms characterized by impaired hemoglobin formation due to iron deficiency in serum and bone marrow, as well as the development of trophic disorders in the organs and tissues. During the study, a complete blood count was performed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using the kits produced by JSC Vector-Best, and the Kamyshnikov method. Based on the results of the study of the erythrocyte sorption capacity (ESC) in women of reproductive age with IDA, it was established that this parameter is 1.2 times higher than that in the control group. The development of anemia is associated with significant changes in the osmotic stability of the erythrocytes, which results in an increase in the proportion of both unstable and high-resistance erythrocytes. The scientific novelty of the article is that the authors established the key parameters for iron deficiency anemia detection.
