Maintaining adequate iron status during pregnancy is important for the mother and her developing fetus. Iron homeostasis is influenced by 3 regulatory hormones: erythropoietin (EPO), hepcidin, and erythroferrone (ERFE). To date, normative data on ERFE across pregnancy and its relations to other hormones and iron status indicators are limited.
