ABSTRACT:The liver plays a major role in iron homeostasis; thus, in patients with chronic liver disease, iron regulation may be disturbed. Higher iron levels are present not only in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis, but also in those with alcohol
Approximately one third of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) show signs of disturbed iron homeostasis as indicated by elevated serum ferritin with normal or mildly elevated transferrin saturation. Mild hepatic iron deposition is the typical histological finding in these subjects and...
iron overload) is a metabolic disorder that leads to abnormally elevated iron stores in the body. The excess iron may accumulate in the tissues of the liver, pancreas, and heart, which can lead to inflammation, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Hemochromatosis is aninherited disease....

Elevated levels of AST and ALT may signify the level of liver damage in a person. The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT results depends upon the entire clinical evaluation of an individual, and so it is best done by physicians experienced in evaluating liver diseaseand muscle disease. ...
CANBERRA, June 21 (Xinhua) -- People with too much iron are more likely to contract diabetes and liver disease according to a joint study released on Friday. While the medical issues associated with an iron deficiency have been well-documented, the study by researchers from the University of ...
Conversely, promoting ferroptosis can kill hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and liver cancer cells. In addition, ferroptosis can also influence disease development through nonparenchymal cells in the liver. Exposure to ethanol [8] or Plasmodium chabaudi hemozoin [9] could enhance iron uptake by Kupffer...
