What Does Low Iron And High Level Of Alkaline In My Blood Test Indicate?
Hi, I am 32 weeks pregnant and last week I had a blood test to determine whether I had a possibe kidney infection. Turns out to be UTI. Blood test results came back with low iron and high level (174) of Alkaline - ALP. Will this harm the baby? Should I be having further tests?

Hello welcome to Healthcare Magic.
UTI is commonly seen during pregnancy.
yes Low iron is an alarm, it may cause few congenital anomalies seen if it is early.
This period of gestation - i would recommend regular followup with doppler evaluation of the fetus and regular maternal health checkup. Rest suggested.
Need to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you. Dr. Ganesh.
