      Abstract

      The objective of the present study was to determine whether the Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were increased
      in some non-diabetic pathological states especially Iron deficiency anemia. This study conducted on 52 non diabetic
      pregnant women sorrow from iron deficiency anemia and 30 non diabetic healthy pregnant women were enrolled to serve
      as a control group. The patient’s data released from National Hematology Center, Baghdad, Iraq for about five months
      and the required tests were examined under medical expert in this field in order to ensure the accuracy for the
      demanding tests. The ages of patients were ranged from 20 to 45 years old. Our results showed a significant difference
      (P < 0.005) in case of Hba1C levels between iron deficiency anemia group and control group. Same results was found in
      all blood and biochemical tests which included in this study (serum ferritin, serum iron, serum total iron binding capacity,
      Hemoglobin level and Red blood cell count).
