Hepcidin and diabetes are independently related with soluble transferrin receptor levels in chronic dialysis patients

Background: Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is a biomarker of erythropoiesis, which is often impaired in dialysis patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate sTfR levels in chronically dialyzed patients and assess potential determinants of its levels. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional s...
