Figures & data
Table 1. Summarizes basal parameters at 15 and 30 days of erythropoietic activity in different groups.
Figure 1. The close correlation existing between CHr levels and the commonly used test to evaluate the functional iron (serum iron and TSAT), at the beginning and the end of the study. The CHr levels did not correlate with the serum hepcidin or with the basal CRP. TSAT: Transferrin Saturation; CHr: Content of Hemoglobin Reticulocyte; CRP: C-Reactive Protein.

Table 2. Summarizes basal parameters at 15 and 30 days of functional iron and iron status in different groups.
Figure 2. An excellent positive correlation between levels of hepcidin and ferritin, and a similar tendency with CRP. It is possible that patients with high levels of hepcidin also have a higher degree of inflammation and therefore lower levels of transferrin, which entitles higher levels of TSAT. CRP: C-Reactive Protein; TSAT: Transferrin Saturation.
