Serum ferritin levels in hemoglobin H disease. 1983

R Galanello, and M A Melis, and E Paglietti, and G Cornacchia, and S de Virgiliis, and A Cao

This study shows that hemoglobin H disease patients aged between 0.5 and 44 years, usually (27 out of 30) have normal serum ferritin levels according to age. This reconfirms that in this disease there are usually normal iron stores. However, in a few patients (3 out of 30) increased levels were found. This may be due to inappropriate iron medication, transfusions or associated idiopathic hereditary hemocromatosis gene.
