LOPEZ VALVERDE, María Eugenia; JERICO ALBA, Carlos y GARCIA ERCE, José Antonio. Moderate anaemia refractory to oral iron in a pregnant woman with a history of bariatric surgery. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.5, pp.1087-1090. Epub 04-Ene-2021. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.02961.
Introduction:
bariatric surgery involves nutritional and trace element deficiencies that may have a negative impact if not treated properly, especially in situations such as pregnancy.
Case report:
a patient who underwent biliopancreatic diversion surgery without subsequent therapeutic adherence consults due to edema; findings included 29-week gestation (type 1 intrauterine growth restriction) and moderate anemia. Vitamin supplementation, oligoelements, enteral nutrition, and intravenous iron were restarted. Due to poor hemoglobin response with repleted iron deposits, recombinant human erythropoietin was associated.
Discussion:
the most frequent nutritional deficiencies after malabsorptive bariatric surgery are sideropenia and hypoproteinemia. Sideropenia and anemia increase the risk of preterm delivery, low weight, and perinatal mortality. In patients with inadequate response to intravenous iron, treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin may be considered, although its use in pregnant women without chronic renal failure has no indication in the prescribing information of this drug.
