Abstract
CRP, albumin, BMI, and hospitalization rate per year were found to be significant determinants of ERI in MHD patients. Inadequate dialysis was associated with higher epoetin requirements. There were no difference in patient mortality by ERI, but a significant difference in hospitalization rates and mean length of one hospitalization was revealed. A significant positive relation between hepcidin and ERI was revealed. ERI and ferritin were found to be significant determinants of hepcidin in MHD patients. Hepcidin was not related to mortality.
