To examine iron metabolism during the second and third trimesters in African American women with high-risk pregnancies. Longitudinal pilot study. Large, university-based, urban Midwestern medical center. Convenience sample of 32 African American women with high-risk pregnancies seeking care at an urban, maternal-fetal medicine clinic. Non-fasting venous blood was collected in the second and third trimesters to assess iron status, hepcidin, and systemic inflammation. Anthropometric and survey data were obtained via self-report. Descriptive statistics were calculated from these data, and changes in the clinical parameters between the second and third trimester were evaluated via paired t-tests. Associations among demographic, reproductive, anthropometric, inflammatory and iron-related parameters were also assessed in each trimester. The mean age of participants was 28.3 (± 6.8) years, and pre-pregnancy body mass index was 31.9 (± 10.7) kg/m2. In the longitudinal analysis, significant (p < 0.05) declines in serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, and C-reactive protein were observed between the second and third trimester. There was no statistically significant change in hepcidin between trimesters. When using a ferritin cut-point of < 15 ng/ml and soluble transferrin receptor > 28.1 nmol/l, 48% of the participants (14 of 29) were classified with iron deficiency in the third trimester. In this pilot study, iron deficiency was prevalent among a small cohort of African American women with high-risk pregnancies. Hepcidin concentrations were higher than previously reported in healthy, pregnant, primarily White women, which suggests decreased iron bioavailability in this high-risk group. In this sample, results indicated lower iron bioavailability in African American women with high-risk pregnancies.
