Median (A) hemoglobin and (B) serum ferritin levels by ranges of D-dimer levels for patients treated in Northwell Health hospitals in New York. There were 11,265 patients across 13 hospitals, admitted between March 1 and April 27, 2020. Of these, 8,232 had at least 1 D-dimer and hemoglobin measurement and 7,994 had a D-dimer and ferritin measurement. Elevation in D-dimer level above normal in the 1-to-4-times and greater-than-4-times the upper limit of normal (ULN; 229 ng/mL) groups was associated with a stepwise lesser median hemoglobin level and a corresponding stepwise greater serum ferritin level.
