Serum ferritin levels according to different patient characteristics. Ferritin levels were higher in male (a) and older (b) compared to female or younger patients. According to patients’ severity, Child–Pugh C stadium was associated with increased ferritin levels only compared to Child–Pugh A stadium (c). There was no difference between groups by the presence of ascites (d), hepatocellular carcinoma ([HCC] e) or alcoholic etiology (f). Patients with a history of variceal bleeding (VB) had significantly lower serum ferritin levels (G), while there was no difference detected between patients with or without anemia (h) determined by low hemoglobin and/or hematocrit levels
