Brief Synopsis/Key Takeaways:
1. Think of the 4 major AOLI causes (alcohol, overload, liver, inflammation), keeping in mind that several are likely contributing in one patient.
2. Transferrin saturation >45% is highly suggestive of iron overload as a contributing factor, including hemochromatosis, and would warrant referral to hematology. Other key tests to order include: CBC, ESR, CRP, Cr and lytes, LFTs and hepatitis serology (B and C), abdominal U/S, glucose, A1C, lipids, and HFE gene testing if you’re suspicious of hemochromatosis.
3. Good rule of thumb: High ferritin is anything >300, but for those in the 300-1000 range, lifestyle modification targeting the non-iron overload causes is appropriate, with hematology referral for ferritin above 1000 as this plus high transferrin saturation is specific for hemochromatosis and phlebotomy may be necessary. Alcohol cessation is also recommended in hemochromatosis.
I am from California and a few months ago I was confirmed herpes 1 virus positive and ever since then I have been doing research on how I can get rid of the virus, I was lucky to come across aba herbs. I inbox Dr Aba after scrolling through his page, the doctor responded nicely and told me that he is going to ship the cure medications to me via a shipping company, he also said I am going to get cured within two to three weeks! I never doubted him because many have said so much good news about his herbal medicine on every site and everything really went as planned.. His herbal treatments are completely legit and I recommend you contact him on dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp his number on +2348107155060.
