Figure 1

Correlation between fractional excretion (FE) of hepcidin-25 and β2-microglobulin (β2m) in patients with renal disease without a tubulointerstitial infiltrate (n = 30, triangles), and in patients at 1–2 hours (n = 8, white circles) and 12–24 hours (n = 13, black circles) after cardiopulmonary bypass grafting (CABG). FE of hepcidin correlates with FE of β2m, indicating tubular uptake of hepcidin. However, FE of hepcidin increased relatively more in patients 12–24 hours after CABG, suggesting local production in the kidney.
