Özet

Study results on acute phase reactants of renal failure patients are controversial. In this study, we enrolled 39 patients and divided them into 2 groups: acute renal failure (ARF), and chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. As opposed to CRF patients, the patients with ARF had higher serum ferritin levels that were independent of anemia parameters and other acute phase reactants. Copyright © 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.
