Diagnosing hyperferritinemia requires ruling out acquired causes and considering genetic testing for hemochromatosis, especially with elevated transferrin saturation. This paper offers an algorithm for diagnosis and management of genetic hemochromatosis.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Genetics
  • Hepatology

Context:

  • Hyperferritinemia can stem from acquired conditions like inflammation, anemia, or liver disease, often with normal transferrin saturation.
  • Elevated transferrin saturation warrants genetic testing for hemochromatosis.
  • Non-HFE hemochromatosis should be investigated with second-line genetic testing if common causes are excluded.

Purpose:

  • To present a diagnostic algorithm for hyperferritinemia.
  • To clarify the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for genetic hemochromatosis.

Summary:

  • This study outlines a diagnostic approach for hyperferritinemia, emphasizing the exclusion of acquired causes before pursuing genetic testing.
  • It details the indications for HFE and non-HFE hemochromatosis genetic testing.

  • The paper provides guidance on managing genetic hemochromatosis.

    • Impact:

    • Aims to improve the diagnostic accuracy of hyperferritinemia.
    • Facilitates timely diagnosis and management of genetic hemochromatosis.
    • Provides a practical tool for clinicians managing iron overload disorders.
