Brief Summary

Iron and vitamin D are two essential micronutrients for the normal growth of young children, and their deficiencies are still a major health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. A significant association between vitamin D deficiency and anemia has been reported throughout the world. Several studies in various populations all over the world suggest a high degree of association between Iron deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency. It is still controversial which deficiency causes the other but this association should be addressed in view of a better treatment proposal. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on iron status in iron deficiency anemia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • This study was to compare the effect of standard therapy with standard therapy plus vitamin D in children with IDA.

    1. Comparing pre-treatment routine blood test, serum iron, and serum ferritin levels between iron supplementation and iron and vitamin D supplementation groups. 2. Comparing the levels of routine blood tests, serum iron, and serum ferritin results after treatment between iron supplementation and iron and vitamin D supplementation groups.

    After 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison of mean changes in complete blood count, serum iron, and serum ferritin level

    after 4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Iron supplementation

EXPERIMENTAL

Children with a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. Patients who received standard therapy (Fe preparations) 3 mg/kg BW/day for 4 weeks, were then checked again for complete blood count, serum fe, and serum ferritin.

Drug: Elemental iron

Iron and Vitamin D supplementation

EXPERIMENTAL

Children with a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. Patients who received standard therapy (Fe preparations) 3 mg/kgBW/day and received standard therapy combination vitamin D, 400 IU for 4 weeks, were then checked again for complete blood count, serum fe, and serum ferritin.

Drug: Elemental iron and Vit D
