Hepcidin is an interleuKin-6 IL-6 -induced Key modulator of inflammation-associated anemia. Human sepsis is a prototypical inflammatory syndrome often complicated by the development of anemia. However the association between inflammation hepcidin release and anemia has not been demonstrated in this group of patients. Therefore we explored the association between hepcidin and sepsis-associated anemia. Methods 92 consecutive patients were enrolled after presentation on the emergency ward of a university hospital with sepsis indicated by the presence of a proven or suspected infection and 2 extended systemic inflammatory response syndrome SIRS criteria. Blood was drawn at day 1 2 and 3 after admission for the measurement of IL-6 and hepcidin-25. IL-6 levels were correlated with hepcidin concentrations. Hemoglobin levels and data of blood transfusions during 14 days after hospitalisation were retrieved and the rate of hemoglobin decrease was correlated to hepcidin levels. Results 53 men and 39 women with a mean age of yrs were included. Hepcidin levels were highest at admission median IQR to nmol l and decreased to normal levels in most patients within 3 days to nmol l . Hepcidin levels increased with the number of extended SIRS criteria P . Highest IL-6 levels were measured at admission to pg ml and log-transformed IL-6 levels significantly correlated with hepcidin levels .
