A member asked:
Dr fischer-they don't know why i have low ferritin and high iron saturation. endoscopy needed?iron avid?. i am a h63d heterozygote for hemachromatis

See hematologist: The heterozygosity for hemochromatosis should not cause iron storage disease, but the high saturation with low ferritin (iron stores) suggests a problem with bleeding or blood cell formation. Sometimes microscopic exam of the blood is a useful first step before other tests.
