Hepcidin/Ferritin Ratios Differ Among Non‐Dialyzed Chronic Kidney Disease Patients, and Patients on Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis

The serum levels of hepcidin generally increase in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to inflammation or a decline in the glomerular filtration rate. However, the differences in the ferrokinetics among dialysis modalities are unclear. We investigated the relationship between serum levels of hepcidin and ferritin among non‐dialyzed CKD (ND), hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We recruited 285 CKD patients (117...
