Original Research
Protein status of 194 pregnant women and their newborn at a public and
a private maternity hospital in Tehran was studied. Blood samples were
taken from all women before delivery and from cords at delivery of the
placenta. The following determinations were made: total serum protein,
protein fractions, creatinine and urea. In the private group, significantly
higher maternal mean values were found for serum urea (P<0.01), albumin
(P<0.05) and B -globulin (P<0.01) when compared to the public group. In
cord blood, the mean serum creatinine (P<0.01) and urea (P<0.02) were
significantly higher and B -globulin (P<O.05) was lower in the private group
when compared to the public group. It can be concluded that socio-economic
status clearly affects maternal nutrition, thereby affecting to some extent the
nutritional status of the fetus.
