Up to a 49% higher risk of death observed in patients who had a 400 ng/mL increase in serum ferritin from baseline values compared with patients who had relatively stable ferritin levels. Spikes in ...

Iron overload, characterized by elevated serum ferritin levels, has long been associated with various systemic complications, yet its impact on skeletal health has not been as well understood. A ...

Further, although serum ferritin is recognized as a proinflammatory biomarker that is frequently elevated in a variety of autoimmune disorders, the role it plays in AAV still needs to be elucidated.
