Abstract:Background: Iron overload in MHD patients is associated with many factors, including inflammation. Objectives: We conducted this study to determine the ratio of iron overload and its relationship with elevated plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with anemia. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 103 MHD patients with anemia. Plasma iron, ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and CRP concentrations were measured in all patien… Show more
