An adequate iron management is important in the treatment of anemia and in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Serum ferritin and transferrin saturation (TS) may be influenced by the presence of inflammation. Recently, the soluble transferrin receptor (s-TfR) has been advocated as a parameter of iron status in HD patients. The aim of the present study was to assess firstly the relation between serum ferritin, TS, and s-TfR in HD patients and to predict their agreement (assessed by kappa) in the diagnosis of iron deficiency, and, secondly, to assess the influence of inflammation on the relation between the parameters of iron state. Iron deficiency by either marker was respectively defined as ferritin
