| Abstract | Objectives: To study the association of hepcidin and erythroferrone (ERFE) levels with hemoglobin levels in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Methods: Forty-two serum samples collected from SLE patients were categorized into anemia and without anemia using hemoglobin levels. Forty blood donors were included as control group, all serum was collected from leftover specimen. Hepcidin and ERFE were measured in patients and control group using enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) kit. Results: Hepcidin and ERFE showed the highest levels in anemic SLE patients and were statistically significantly higher than in non-anemic SLE patients and control group, while hepcidin and ERFE were statistically significantly higher in non-anemic SLE patients than control group. In SLE patients, hepcidin and erythroferrone were statistically negatively correlated with hemoglobin. There was no statistically significant correlation between hepcidin and erythroferrone levels. Conclusion: Elevated serum hepcidin and erythroferrone levels were associated with anemia in SLE patients. Whereas hepcidin and erythroferrone were independent of each other in causing anemia and both values were not appropriate to be used as markers of anemia status in SLE patients. |
