6 Οκτ 2024 · Evaluation of hemochromatosis begins with serum transferrin saturation or serum ferritin concentration testing. The mainstay of diagnosis requires a transferrin saturation greater than 45% or a serum ferritin greater than 200 µg/L in females or 300 μg/L in males. [2]
Haemochromatosis is a disorder of iron homeostasis that is characterised by increased intestinal iron absorption and iron release from macrophages, leading to an expanded circulating iron pool, reflected by increased transferrin saturation (Box 1). This can lead to progressive body iron accumulation, that mainly manifests in the liver.
1 Ιουν 2022 · Haemochromatosis is characterised by elevated transferrin saturation (TSAT) and progressive iron loading that mainly af-fects the liver. Early diagnosis and treatment by phlebotomy can prevent cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, diabetes, arthrop-athy and other complications. In patients homozygous for.
27 Μαΐ 2023 · Haemochromatosis is an inherited disorder defined by an excess of body iron resulting from an inability to restrict dietary iron absorption and the release of iron from senescent erythrocytes. The most common inherited variant relates to the HFE (high Fe) gene on chromosome 6.
