Maulood Department of Biology, College of Science Education, University of Salahaddin, arpil, Iraq Received 20 / 4 /2009 accepted 23 / 6 /2009 Abstract This study was carried out in pediatric out patients ward of Rapareen hospital in Erbil city, which included 45 children with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), males and females, whose age range is betweenl-5 years old, with 45 healthy children at same age and sex considerd as control group, to determine the hematological and biochemical variables. The results indicate a significant decrease (p < 0.01) in haemoglobin, packed cell volume and red blood cell count in children with iron deficiency aanemia (IDA) when compared with control. White blood cell count, lymphocyte number, platelet count and red distribution width were increased significantly (p < 0.01) in children with IDA when compared with control. No significant differences observed in neutrophil number in children with IDA and control. Mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration decreased significantly (p < 0.01) in children with IDA when compared with control. Significant decrease (p < 0.01) noticed in serum iron and transferrin saturation in children with IDA when compared with control. While total iron binding capacity increased significantly (p < 0.01) in children with IDA when compared with control. Serum creatinine, urea, aspartate transamminase and alanine transamminase activiW did not show sienificant differences in children with IDA and control group. c!*Jl t+e ep +df ,J4ij fJl .;[i1 ggl,.a tl dl,iLYl $e 4+JHrJJ.r,SJl 3 L;nJf d,'lJHii4ll cb.ti*.l|1 lgl-t" til* rs LJa.,.."..4rl O9L! 6lJr*" o- f -r+(jl -l :S.) .JU 1 o ,L'1 LrJlj rh;l 4+i- d ;;rl; ,-i;i* "+ j\ilyt ir-: d ,'''- ill l:a c1;,11 ; U,a,+,J ijJ.i Cl el$llLIJJ S-j lej^l-S (lj+iclJ ,J,.illJ Fl ,Jsii+ dl! ,.Ji! io, +r-Jl u-il i++tl eJl JAg ,.r $c., i. 1i!^ll fil $i -'-,,.rJl qJl*bi d..j* d ( p<0.01) c"e3--. gFtjijl ejuill o;a-Ei.L3,,=: rsll J LJ.JI ,J^lJ'll \)ijl le, '-;++ll fil *l;;S lc.-SJl LJ.+.+ +.r;!L 'lr-il u,-il pr _Fe cJ Oyl,+ cl.ll dljJ.Yl ,"JFl fJl ci\-.'js d F o" O:rtl oJJl dl-itYl c (p<0.01).ep^ qE^i1-r gr.,:l ol;,.=Jl.iJS[,*jdl r.r-rll-r are"rJt ,-t;Yl l',q-eG^JJl ,riii pr ts c1^ Oyt+ ;rJl qlitYl -j ilr'Jl !)iJl r:c ,J t'J*,-ix:l flt=\ J.fSl ic. q^+^r +rjli^ -p=Jl e:ii: q-,Slt .+ prll ,-rt-:i q"S J.-3i^,e1J,.-Jl irJSl f+s, l-J- (p<0.01) gJj- dS&J ,Jhi:jl.
