Abstract excerpt
We analysed iron biomarkers and their relationships in 30 subjects with HFE mutations and moderate hyperferritinaemia undergoing iron removal at our blood donation centre. Body mass index (BMI) and liver enzymes were assessed. Serum iron (SI), ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), hepcidin and non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI) were measured serially. Seventeen subjects had p.C282Y/p.C282Y, nine p.C282Y/p.H63D,...
