  1. Measurement data with a normal distribution are expressed as means ± standard deviation, and nonnormally distributed data are expressed as medians and interquartile range. No significant differences between group were found in the baseline characteristics. BMI denotes body mass index, sTFR denotes serum soluble transferrin receptor, SI denotes serum iron, sFt denotes serum ferritin, TSAT denotes transferrin saturation, TIBC denotes total iron-binding capacity, RBC denotes red blood count, EPO denotes erythropoietin, K+ denotes potassium, HCO3− denotes bicarbonate, HDL-C denotes high-density lipoprotein, LDL-C denotes low-density lipoprotein, and eGFR denotes estimated glomerular filtration rate
