We assessed the use of different parameters, both classical like ferritin, transferrin saturation and stainable bone marrow iron stores, and novel markers such as low haemoglobin density (LHD) and hepcidin to help discriminate between the three entities. This would allow the detection of patients with ACD with associated iron deficiency, which could benefit from iron supplementation that would have otherwise remained undetected.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Prospective and observational cohort study from 2012 to 2013 where 200 anaemic cardiac surgical patients were recruited and 165 were studied.

Hepcidin was inappropriately normal or increased in the IDA and ACD group. Mean hepcidin was however lower in the group with IDA (4.8\u2005ng\/mL) than in the ACD group (15.0\u2005ng\/mL; p=0.002). Median hepcidin was lower in patients with ACD and iron restriction as indicated by LHD &gt;4% (17.5\u2005ng\/mL) than on those with no iron restriction (25.9\u2005ng\/mL; p=0.045).
