TL;DR: Serum ferritin is a strong predictor of hospitalization in dialysis patients and appears to be a more reliable short-term marker of death over a 12-month period, therefore, in the setting of uniform iron administration, a high serum Ferritin may be a morbidity risk factor and a recent increase in serum ferritIn may carry an increase in the risk of death in these patients.
