Hepcidin is the key regulator of systemic iron homeostasis. We describe the modulation of hepcidin production induced by plasma transfusions in a patient with congenital hypotransferrinemia that offers a unique model in which to study the mechanism of hepcidin regulation by iron and erythropoiesis. Urinary hepcidin increased from zero at baseline, when hemoglobin and serum transferrin was low, to a maximum of 98 ng/mg creatinine on day 60, and subsequently decreased. Time-course of urinary hepcidin and serum transferrin concentration suggests that hepcidin production is regulated by the combination of marrow iron requirements and iron supply by transferrin.
