Treatment of hyperferritinemia
Annals of Hepatology, 2012 Elevated serum ferritin, or hyperferritinemia, is a common finding on routine bloodwork and often prompts referral for further evaluation. In the following review, we outline the various causes of hyperferritinemia and point out that, in the majority of ...

Hyperferritinemia—A Clinical Overview [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021 Ferritin is one of the most frequently requested laboratory tests in primary and secondary care, and levels often deviate from reference ranges. Serving as an indirect marker for total body iron stores, low ferritin is highly specific for iron deficiency.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Ferritin is a ubiquitous protein that is present in most tissues as a cytosolic protein. The major and common role of ferritin is to bind Fe2+, oxidize it and sequester it in a safe form in the cell, and to release iron according to cellular needs. Ferritin is also present at a considerably low proportion in normal mammalian sera and is relatively iron

Hyperferritinemia and inflammation [PDF]
International Immunology, 2017 Abstract Understanding of ferritin biology has traditionally centered on its role in iron storage and homeostasis, with low ferritin levels indicative of deficiency and high levels indicative of primary or secondary hemochromatosis. However, further work has shown that iron, redox biology and inflammation are inexorably linked.

Hyperferritinemia in Pulmonary Tuberculosis [PDF]
Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2012 High ferritin levels have been found to be associated with non infectious as well as infectious causes including tuberculosis. This is one case report of 41 year old male who presented with cough with expectoration. The patient had Multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Hepcidin is a useful biomarker to evaluate hyperferritinemia associated with metabolic syndrome
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019 : Investigation of hyperferritinemia in metabolic syndrome patients represents a diagnostic challenge, but it is essential for the identification of individuals with iron overload. Hepcidin negatively regulates iron absorption and release. An increase in

Haematologica, 2009 Background Elevated serum ferritin levels are frequently encountered in clinical situations and once iron overload or inflammation has been ruled out, many cases remain unexplained. Genetic causes of hyperferritinemia associated to early cataract include
