Reduction of Serum Hepcidin by Hemodialysis in Pediatric and Adult Patients

[摘要] Background and objectives: Hepcidin, the principal regulator of iron homeostasis, may play a critical role in the response of patients with anemia to iron and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent therapy; however, the contribution of hepcidin to iron maldistribution and anemia in hemodialysis (HD) patients and the ability of HD to lower serum hepcidin levels have not been fully characterized.
