Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for depletion of hepcidin from blood for treatment of iron deficiency, in particular in anemic patients suffering from chronic renal failure, with the goal of increasing the availability of iron in the body and thus improving the treatment of the anemia. The hepcidin adsorbent comprises a matrix and a hepcidin-binding ligand covalently bonded to the matrix with an affinity having a dissociation constant KD of less than 200 nM.
