Figure 6From: Inflammation associated anemia and ferritin as disease markers in SLECorrelation of serum and urine ferritin with hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin (Hgb). Serum and urine ferritin levels measured by ELISA were correlated with Hct and Hgb. Serum ferritin correlated negatively with Hct (R = -0.42, P = 0.012) and Hgb (R = -0.47, P = 0.006). Urine ferritin levels also correlated negatively with Hct (R = -0.37, P = 0.028) and Hgb (R = -0.25, P = 0.110), although the correlation with Hgb was comparatively weaker.Back to article page
