Ferritin level prospectively predicts hepatocarcinogenesis in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]
Previous studies have detected a higher level of ferritin in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but a potential causal association between serum ferritin level and hepatocarcinogenesis remains to be clarified.
