    IntroductionIron tests are deranged in sepsis; therefore new biomarkers should be used for diagnosis of iron deficiency (ID)/ID anemia (IDA).MethodsDiagnosis of ID/IDA was based on reticulocyte (Ret) hemoglobin (Hb) equivalent (Ret-He) and Hb concentration, with hepcidin (Hep) determined retrospectively.ResultsThe prevalence of ID and IDA was 7% and 47%, respectively. The AUROCs for Rets number and Hep in prediction of ID/IDA were 0.69 and 0.62, respectively.ConclusionsApproximately half of sepsis patients are iron-deficient. Number of Rets may be a predictor of ID/IDA when Ret-He is not available. Hepcidin is a poor IDA predictor.Copyright: © 2023 Termedia & Banach.
