Mean STR levels in 15 randomly selected patients with and 15 patients without the C282Y allele (12 heterozygotes, three homozygotes) were 16.6 nmol/l (95% CI 12.0–25.8) and 23.5 nmol/L (95% ...

Hereditary hemochromatosis is an inherited iron overload disorder caused by inappropriately low hepcidin secretion leading to increased duodenal absorption of dietary iron, most commonly in C282Y ...

Erythroblasts possess unique characteristics as they undergo differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells. During terminal erythropoiesis, these cells incorporate large amounts of iron in order to ...

Normal iron studies ruled out iron overload. Genetic testing for hemochromatosis gene variants (C282Y and H63D) was negative. Ascitic fluid of 1.5 liters was removed, containing 153 WBCs and < 2,000 ...
