None of these possible backgrounds for hyperferritinemia is associated with substantial hepatic iron overload unless, in presence of an elevated transferrin saturation, hereditary hemochromatosis is responsible. Bleeding patients with polyglobulia or those suffering from erythroleukemia (M6 AML), or those...
Increased iron in the blood may lead to excess iron storage in the body’s organs; a serious but treatable condition known as hemochromatosis. Iron Study –Iron status may be evaluated by ordering one or more tests to determine the amount of circulating iron in the blood, the capacity of ...

Results: Of the 12 cases of primary hemochromatosis, there were 8 males and 4 females with an average age of 54 years (range: 32 to 73 years). Eight patients had histologically proven cirrhosis while 4 patients had increased Fe deposition in the hepatocytes. In the kidneys, there typically ...
Design: The primary inclusion criteria for this study were liver transplantation between 2000-2016, followed by autopsy or cardiac transplantation within 1 year. Cases of known hemochromatosis were excluded. Iron stains were performed on left ventricular myocardium from either the autopsy or surgical ...
There was a slightly increased amount of cirrhosis identified in the ICC group compared to the ECC group, 8% (5/63) vs 0% (0/23), however there was a non-NASH etiology for all but one of the ICC associated cirrhosis cases: hemochromatosis, hepatitis B infection, hepatitis C infection,...
