Comparison (

) between patients in group and normal controls; (

F2-153

) between patients with ACD and nonanemic patients. Statistical analysis was performed using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. P ≤ .05 was considered statistically significant.

*

Total RA patients includes nonanemic and ACD RA patients.

Values are expressed as mean ± 1 SD.
