A member asked:
Can a high ferritin level 647 ug/l (12-250) be caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis? how do you tell its not haemochromatosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can do liver biopsy: Although blood testing (measurement of iron studies and HFE assay) combined with family history can be very suggestive, a liver biopsy with iron staining clinches a diagnosis of hemochromatosis and distinguishes it from other iron overload diseases. Sometimes ferritin is elevated as just an acute phase reactant.
