Nongenetic perinatal anemias: conventional, herbal, and homeopathic treatments.

Graf LA, McPherson-Smith L.

Nongenetic maternal anemia long has been recognized as a pregnancy risk factor. A thorough investigation of the patient's laboratory values, diet, medical history, and life-style is basic to successful management. Treatment modalities include conventional, herbal, and homeopathic medicines. Early initiation of a comprehensive anemia program can enhance the quality of life for the mother and improve fetal outcomes.
