초록 Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the related factors with serum hepcidin level in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods : We used the baseline database of a large-scaled multicenter prospective cohort in Korea of 2,238 patients with non-dialysis CKD. After excluding patients with missing serum hepcidin and hemoglobin levels, the study included 2090 subjects. Results : Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hemoglobin level and higher levels of inflammatory markers and iron markers were independently associated with higher serum hepcidin level (Table 1). In a subgroup analysis, eGFR rate was inversely associated with serum hepcidin level, in patients with CKD stages 3b–5, but not in those with CKD stages 1–3a (Table 2). Iron supplements were associated with increased serum hepcidin level, in patients with CKD stages 1–3a, but not in those with CKD stages 3b–5. Use of erythropoietin stimulating agents was associated with increasing serum hepcidin level, in patients with CKD stages 3b–5, but not in those with CKD 1– 3a. Serum hepcidin level positively correlated with erythropoietin stimulating agent dosage (Figure 1). Conclusions : Reduced kidney function was associated with increased serum hepcidin levels, especially in patients with advanced CKD. Iron supplementation was positively correlated with serum hepcidin levels, especially in patients with early CKD. The higher hepcidin level in ESA users, particularly in those with advanced CKD, suggests that hepcidin is a key peptide in EPO resistance.
