The mean (SD) serum hepcidin levels in 40 children with thalassemia [15.8 (2.9) ng/mL] were comparable to those seen in 40 healthy controls [15.1 (3.0) ng/mL (P=0.3)]. The hepcidin/ferritin ratio in thalassemic children was significantly lower (P<0.001) suggesting that hepcidin levels were not increased in proportion to the iron overload.
40名地中海贫血患儿的血清铁调素水平均值(标准差)为[15.8(2.9)ng/mL],与40名健康对照者[15.1(3.0)ng/mL(P=0.3)]相当。地中海贫血患儿的铁调素/铁蛋白比值显著更低(P<0.001),提示铁调素水平并未随铁过载成比例升高。
