Similarly, UC patients with active disease, no iron deficiency with (698 ng/mL) or without anemia (577 ng/mL), and UC patients with inactive disease and without iron deficiency or anemia (464 ng/mL) had the highest hepcidin levels, whereas UC subjects with anemia, iron deficiency, and with/without active disease had lower hepcidin concentrations (16–54 ng/mL) (Mecklenburg et al., 2014). Here, HAMP is linked to Iron deficiency anemia.
