Serum Ferritin Variations and Mortality in Incident Hemodialysis Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: During the first 6-months after HD initiation, a major rise in serum ferritin in those with a baseline ferritin ≥200 ng/mL and even a slight rise in serum ferritin in those with a baseline ferritin ≥800 ng/mL are associated with higher mortality.
