| Laboratory Data | AF | Non-AF | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hemoglobin (g/dl) | 11.6 ± 1.76 | 11.3 ± 1.8 | 0.062 |
| Sodium (mEq/L) | 138.8 ± 4.3 | 139.2 ± 3.4 | 0.211 |
| Potassium (mEq/L) | 4.1 ± 0.6 | 4.4 ± 0.6 | <0.001 |
| Bicarbonate (mEq/L) | 25.4 ± 4.8 | 24.2 ± 4.0 | <0.001 |
| BUN (mg/dl) | 41.9 ± 22.1 | 40.3 ± 20.3 | 0.523 |
| Creatinine (mg/dl) | 2.0 ± 0.9 | 2.7 ± 1.7 | <0.001 |
| Calcium (mg/dl) | 8.7 ± 0.7 | 8.8 ± 0.7 | <0.001 |
| Magnesium (mg/dl) | 2.1 ± 0.3 | 2.1 ± 0.4 | 0.660 |
| Phosphorus (mg/dl) | 3.7 ± 1.1 | 3.9 ± 1.1 | 0.003 |
| Albumin (g/dl) | 2.9 ± 0.7 | 3.4 ± 0.8 | <0.001 |
| hsCRP (mg/L)a | 4.3 ± 5.7 | 5.7 ± 8.2 | 0.420 |
| Parathyroid hormone (pg/ml)b | 172.9 ± 132.5 | 173.4 ± 167.4 | 0.680 |
| Ferritin (ng/L) | 389.0 ± 671.6 | 272.8 ± 366.7 | 0.240 |
| HbA1c (%) | 7.0 ± 1.8 | 6.9 ± 1.7 | 0.700 |
| Total cholesterol (mg/dl) | 141.0 ± 42.9 | 167.4 ± 46.2 | <0.001 |
| LDL cholesterol (mg/dl) | 81.3 ± 33.6 | 95.6 ± 36.8 | <0.001 |
| HDL cholesterol (mg/dl) | 35.1 ± 11.3 | 42.4 ± 13.9 | <0.001 |

Data are means ± SD. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c. P < 0.05 represents statistical difference between groups. To convert hemoglobin in g/dl to g/L, multiply by 10; BUN in mg/dl to mmol/L, multiply by 0.357; creatinine in mg/dl to μmol/L, multiply by 88.4; calcium in mg/dl to mmol/L, multiply by 0.2495; magnesium in mEq/L to mmol/L, multiply by 0.411; phosphate in mg/dl to mmol/L, multiply by 0.3229; ferritin in ng/ml to pg/L, multiply by 2.247; albumin in g/dl to g/L, multiply by 10; total, HDL, and LDL cholesterol in mg/dl to mmol/L, multiply by 0.02586; triglyceride in mg/dl to mmol/L, multiply by 0.01129. Sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate in mEq/L and mmol/L are equivalent. Parathyroid hormone in pg/ml and ng/L are equivalent.
