Abstract:Introduction
The aim of our study was to examine the relationship of hepcidin‐25 with red blood cell and reticulocyte indices and to evaluate the diagnostic properties of hepcidin‐25 in the assessment of positive iron balance in end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
Methods
Eighty anemic ESRD patients (hemoglobin < 110 g/L) were classified as having iron deficiency (ID, N = 20), iron sufficiency (IS, N = 29), and positive iron balance (PB, N = 31) using the conventional biomarkers for iron status evaluation… Show more
