Data are represented as mean with respective standard deviation. values are results of the GzLM test. TIBIC, total iron binding capacity; TSAT, transferrin saturation; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red cell distribution width.
