Background: Hepcidin-25 is an iron regulator which reduces iron absorption and promotes sequestration in the reticulo-endothelial system. We investigated hepcidin and traditional iron storage marker utility in predicting haemoglobin increment following bolus intravenous iron.
Methods: The cohort included 129 consecutive non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients that attended for intravenous iron over a 6-month period.
