Hematological and imaging data of 245 patients with HAE were collected. Patients were classified into the LSF group (SF \u2264 204 ng\/ml) or HSF group (SF &gt; 204 ng\/ml) according to the level of SF. There was no significant difference in the serum iron level between groups (P &gt; 0.05). Significant differences in unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), liver function, blood coagulation, lipid, blood cell count, and lesion characteristics were observed (P &lt; 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that SF was related to UIBC, \u03b3-glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), fibrinogen (FIB), neutrophil count, and maximal lesion diameter (all absolute rs \u2265 0.4). The correlation coefficient between SF and UIBC showed the highest absolute value (rs = \u20130.556, P &lt; 0.001). Single-factor linear regression analysis showed that TBIL and DBIL showed the R2 values were 0.221 and 0.220, and the R2 values of UIBC, FIB, and maximal lesion diameter were 0.157, 0.174, and 0.167, respectively, and those of the remaining indicators were &lt;0.1. Multi-factor binary logistic regression analysis showed that UIBC (P &lt; 0.001, OR = 0.909), FIB (P = 0.020, OR = 1.662), hemoglobin (HGB) (P = 0.002, OR = 1.029), and maximal lesion diameter (P = 0.002, OR = 1.146) were significant factors influencing SF abnormalities. SF levels in some patients with HAE were higher than the laboratory reference value. Correlation and regression analysis of SF suggested that the UIBC, FIB, HGB, and maximal lesion diameter were related to SF and affected the SF level. These results may be helpful for the diagnosis and severity assessment of HAE in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1645\/19-69","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]],"date-time":"2022-03-30T09:45:55Z","timestamp":1648633555000},"page":"159-165","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical Significance and Correlation Analysis of Serum Ferritin in Patients with Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis"],"prefix":"10.1645","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Qiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Qinghai University, Xining, Qinghai 810001, No. 16 Kunlun Road, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi-Xin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, No. 29 Tongren Road, Xining, Qinghai 810001, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hai-Jiu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, No. 29 Tongren Road, Xining, Qinghai 810001, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, No. 29 Tongren Road, Xining, Qinghai 810001, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying-Li","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Qinghai University, Xining, Qinghai 810001, No. 16 Kunlun Road, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Si-Yu","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Qinghai University, Xining, Qinghai 810001, No. 16 Kunlun Road, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Malik Waseem","family":"Sami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Qinghai University, Xining, Qinghai 810001, No. 16 Kunlun Road, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hai-Ning","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, No. 29 Tongren Road, Xining, Qinghai 810001, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, No. 29 Tongren Road, Xining, Qinghai 810001, People's Republic of China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1220","reference":[{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"P.
