Необходимость лабораторного контроля при назначении беременным витаминно-минеральных комплексов

To prevent complications, pregnant women are prescribed vitamin and mineral supplements without laboratory monitoring of provision with vitamins in the body. The study involved 94 pregnant women in terms of 30-40 weeks. The calcium content in 34% of women were in the lower range of the reference interval, 10% were in the upper range, and 33% higher than the level of 2.5 mmol/l. In 42% of the level of vitamin D (25-OH) was above 100 ng/ml, which can have an adverse effect on the fetus. The content of magnesium in 28% of pregnant women was below 0.7 mmol/l, which corresponds to the level of hypomagnesemia among the population. In 55% of pregnant phosphorus levels were in the lower range of the reference values. Given the biological importance of magnesium and phosphorus in energy metabolism, while reducing their content in the body of a pregnant increases the risk of delayed fetal development.
