Ferritin levels and sedimentation reaction (SR) were significantly lower in patients with hypertriglyceridemia compared to those with normal TG levels (ferritin median 257 [IQR 178‒362] vs. 394 [275‒560]; and SR median 51 [IQR 24‒80] vs. 74 [42‒107]) and no difference were shown for C-reactive protein (CRP) (P = 0.58). Here, CRP is linked to hypertriglyceridemia.
