Table 3: Differences in hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, ferritin and transferrin saturation after treatment in both groups.
Group I (n = 367) | Group II (n = 149) | p-value | |
Hemoglobin (g/dl) | 2.64 ± 1.60 | 3.32 ± 1.49 | < 0.001* |
Hematocrit (%) | 7.07 ± 4.35 | 8.95 ± 4.08 | < 0.001* |
MCV (fl) | 8.84 ± 6.40 | 11.76 ± 6.91 | < 0.001* |
Ferritin (ng/mL) | 86.40 (17.10-54.90) | 110.50 (13.90-240.10) | 0.012* |
TS (%) | 15.00 (-6.00-57.00) | 18.00 (-6.00-55.00) | 0.007* |
(Hint: The difference of after treatment-before treatment expressed as mean ± SD or median (min-max);
*: statistically significant at p < 0.05); (MCV: mean corpuscular volume; TS: transferrin saturation).
