Prognostic implications of serum ferritin levels in non-anemic women with stage 3 chronic kidney disease
This study of non-anemic female patients with stage 3 CKD found that adequate ferritin levels correlated with a heightened risk of AKI, renal disease progression, and pneumonia. In contrast, low ferritin levels were associated with a higher fracture risk but a lower likelihood of renal function deterioration.
