TF and anemia: The prevalence of anaemia (haemoglobin < 120 g/L: 32.0% versus 36.7%, P = 0.456), renal impairment (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2: 47.0% versus 4.3.4%, P = 0.650), hypoalbuminemia (<33 g/L: 32.0% versus 27.9%, P = 0.637), low total lymphocyte count (<12 × 109: 40.0% versus 44.7%, P = 0.548), low transferrin (<1.5 g/L: 33.0% versus 25.9%, P = 0.356), and low vitamin B12 levels (<250 pmol/L: 33.0% versus 40.8%, P = 0.395) was similar in both groups.
