Aim: Functional iron deficiency secondary to inflammation and increased serum hepcidin lead to erythropoietin-resistant anemia in children with chronic kidney disease. Vitamin D deficiency, parathyroid hormone, and phosphate can also participate in chronic inflammation and anemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between hepcidin, bone mineral metabolism, and anemia in non-dialysis pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease.
