FIGURE 1
The clinical course during KD compared with AC. Trends of hemoglobin
(g/dL), indirect bilirubin (mg/dL), reticulocyte
(×109/L), serum iron (μg/dL), ferritin (ng/mL),
hepcidin (ng/mL), and CRP (mg/L); serum level of hepcidin at day 15 was
below the detection limit of 2.0 ng/mL, and the treatment; IVIG 2 g/kg
and aspirin initial dose 30 mg/kg/day at day 9, decreased to 5 mg/kg/day
from day 13. The data one year after KD and five months before AC were
the same time point.
