Effects of continuous renal replacement therapy on inflammation-related anemia, iron metabolism and prognosis in sepsis patients with acute kidney injury

Meng-meng An, Chen-xi Liu, Ping Gong

Figure 2. Comparison of parameters correlated to iron metabolism in sepsis patients between the CRRT and control groups. The asterisks, circles, and numbers beside these denote the outliers, and were defined in the usual manner as points above (and below) 1.5 times the interquartile range. CRRT: continuous renal replacement therapy; ICU: intensive care unit; sTfR: soluble transferrin receptor.
