Abstrakt:	Iron deficiency anemia is the most common cause of anemia in pregnancy. Therefore, iron administration is recommended for treatment. Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy does not always result in microcytic anemia. Thus, iron may continue to be administered as diagnostic therapy, even in patients with normocytic anemia. In the present case, although the patient had normocytic anemia, repeated intravenous iron administration resulted in liver dysfunction due to secondary iron overload, which required intensive care. In pregnant women with perinatal hepatic dysfunction, iron overload secondary to iron therapy administered to correct anemia during pregnancy should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
