Body iron stores progressively increase patients, which can lead to cirrhosis of liver, hepatocellular carcinoma, heart failure, arthritis, and pigmentation. Simple blood tests such as serum ferritin transferrin saturation are useful suggest diagnosis be confirmed cases with a simple test for C282Y mutation HFE gene. However, these often misinterpreted there rare patients overload without mutations. A diagnostic approach presented based on large referral practice population-based study (HEIRS) screened 101,168 participants.
