Abstract
Iron deficiency
anemia is associated central and peripheral nervous system disturbances Iron is an essential component of brain
growth, myelination, nerve impulse conduction, protein synthesis, hormone
production . Since myelination is concerned with conduction in nerve fibres,
iron deficiency potentially impairs neoronal transmission and leads to
functional neurodeficits like hearing loss. BAEP was recorded using RMS EMG EP
MK2 machine in patients with iron deficiency anemia with haemoglobin less than
10.9 g/dl aged between 18-50 years who were followed up after 3 months of
treatment and matched with 30 healthy age and sex matched controls BAEP absolute and interpeak latencies were
prolonged in IDA patients as compared to the control group which was reversible
with iron replacement therapy Increased
absolute and interpeak latencies of BAEP indicates impairment of auditory
pathways in IDA patients
Electrophysiological studies of BAEP provides an objective method for
monitoring the function of CNS especially the auditory function in patients in
iron deficiency anemia before and after replacement therapy.It is a non
invasive test for early diagnosis and early treatment to prevent complications
.
