Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS Hepcidin-25 (HEP-25) and erythroferrone (ERFE) are key regulators of iron homeostasis. Correlations among serum ferritin, ERFE and HEP-25 levels and improvements in anaemia have not been evaluated after administration of ferric citrate hydrate (FCH). METHODS This retrospective observational study investigated 24 patients on haemodialysis with both anaemia (haemoglobin (Hb)
