NO: Hemochromatosis DX are : increase serum iron, increase serum ferritin, increase transferrin saturation and gene assay.

Not hemochromatosis: Elevated total iron binding capacity (more than just a little above reference range, i'll assume) and a very mild anemia would make me think of mild iron deficiency. Are you a vegetarian? Do you have gastric reflux that causes lower esophageal bleeding? This doesn't sound like hemochromatosis -- not that it's anything to worry about, as it's the most manageable of all the deadly diseases.
