Serum levels of hepcidin-25 at the start of OIT between 21 OIT-responders with ΔHb ≥ 20 g/L and 18 OIT-responders achieving target Hb but ΔHb < 20 g/L at 3 months after OIT. Serum levels of hepcidin-25 at the start of OIT were significantly lower in the 21 OIT-responders with ΔHb ≥ 20 g/L than those in the 18 OIT responders who achieved target Hb (120–130 g/L) but ΔHb < 20 g/L. Comparison of two nonparametric data groups was analyzed by the Mann–Whitney U test. White circle: OIT-responders with ΔHb ≥ 20 g/L, black circle: the 18 OIT-responders with ΔHb < 20 g/L. * p < 0.05 vs. OIT-responders with ΔHb < 20 g/L.
