Dysmetabolic Hyperferritinemia

A finding of elevated serum level of FERRITIN. It is often associated with IRON OVERLOAD, repeated blood transfusions, malignancy, iron metabolic syndromes, virus infection, liver injury or dysfunction, and renal failure. Hyperferritinemia in iron metabolic syndromes (e.g., Still's diseases, and HEMOPHAGOCYTIC SYNDROME) is referred to as dysmetabolic hyperferritinemia.

"Hyperferritinemia is found in around 12 % of the general population."( Bakers, FC; Innocenti, F; Koek, GH; Masclee, AAM; Moris, W; Rombout-Sestrienkova, E; van Deursen, CTBM; Verbeek, J, 2023)

Context

ExcerptReference
"Hyperferritinemia has been associated with increased hepatic iron stores and worse outcomes in patients with NAFLD."( Bernardis, I; Buzzetti, E; Caleffi, A; Corradini, E; Dongiovanni, P; Fargion, S; Fracanzani, AL; Pelusi, S; Pietrangelo, A; Rametta, R; Scarlini, S; Tagliafico, E; Tenedini, E; Valenti, LV; Ventura, P, 2021)
