Article Synopsis
- The study explored alternative diagnostic methods for iron deficiency in hemodialysis patients, focusing on reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHret) and hypochromic RBC percentage (HYPO%), compared to traditional biochemical tests.
- Reticulocyte indices and erythrocyte parameters showed better predictive abilities for iron deficiency, with area under the curve (AUC) values indicating their effectiveness.
- Results suggest that newly proposed measures, Ret-He and %Hypo-He, are clinically useful and provide information comparable to traditional methods in assessing iron responsiveness.
