Epidemiology and diagnostic testing for hemochromatosis and iron overload.

International journal of laboratory hematology - 1 May 2015

Adams P C

Abstract excerpt

Hemochromatosis is the most common genetic disease in northern European populations. Body iron stores progressively increase in most patients, which can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, hepatocellular carcinoma, heart failure, arthritis, and pigmentation. Simple blood tests such as the serum ferritin and transferrin saturation are useful to suggest the diagnosis which can be confirmed in most cases with a simple...
