Ferritin levels of coronavirus disease (COVID)–negative (n = 268) and COVID-positive (n = 22) patients receiving hemodialysis at our center prior to and at COVID diagnosis. (a) Comparison of ferritin levels during the first week of March 2020 (before the coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] epidemic had occurred at our center) and at diagnosis of COVID-19 (Student t test). The first COVID-19 case in our center was diagnosed on March 18, 2020. (b) Rate of patients with ferritin levels greater than 800 ng/ml during the first week of March 2020 and at diagnosis of patients who tested negative and positive for COVID-19 (χ2 test).
