Relationship of Baseline Hemoglobin Level with Serum Ferritin, Postphlebotomy Hemoglobin Changes, and Phlebotomy Requirements among HFE C282Y Homozygotes

Table 2

Association between baseline hemoglobin and other baseline characteristics in C282Y-homozygous males () and females ().

Variables	Males				Females
	Age	Log-SF	TS (%)	Log-PH	Age	Log-SF	TS (%)	Log-PH
Base-Hb	−0.29	−0.25	−0.23	−0.37	0.08	−0.27	0.02	−0.27
Age		0.29	0.01	0.46		0.07	0.21	0.00
Log-SF			0.45	0.71			0.34	0.72
TS (%)				−0.36				0.29

Base-Hb: baseline hemoglobin; SF: serum ferritin; Log-PH: log number of phlebotomies.
