A doctor has provided 1 answer
Context: Your physician has ordered this test along with a battery of others and is aware of your clinical picture. If it's the workup of abnormal liver function tests, arthritic hands or glucose intolerance, i strongly suspect you have hemochromatosis, the easiest common deadly disease to manage. If not, it's all about the big picture. The good news is that this points to treatable disease. Good luck.
