ABSTRACT

Introduction: Anemia is the most frequent disease that can coincide with or be produced by pregnancy. At present, a methodology of attention to preconception risk is encouraged, based on a new approach that involves changes in the processes of care delivery for specific groups.
Clinical case: Female patient at age 33, mestizo, of urban origin, agricultural engineering, first period at age 12, menstrual formula duration 4-5 days within 30 days, obstetric history: pregnancy 5, no childbirth, three abortions (2007, 2010, 2013). In the year 2012, she had a left tubal ectopic pregnancy complicated with hemoperitoneum. When she was pregnant again in February 2016 in the first trimester, serum iron is found at 1.6 ?mol/L and anemic clinical symptomatology that is markedly improved is also found, with cross-pelvis delivery after 40.6 weeks, serum iron 22 ?mol/L, and satisfactory evolution.
Conclusions: Anemia is a serious complication in pregnancy that can be manifested in the clinical symptoms of pregnant women. This work emphasizes the importance of preconception risk control because of the sobering character of the clinical and social impact of anemia in this pregnant woman without previous control of the preconception risk.
