Hyperferritinemia in the Chinese and Asian Community: A Retrospective Review of the University of British Columbia Experience
BACKGROUND AND METHODS: Elevated serum ferritin is a common clinical finding.

| description | BACKGROUND AND METHODS: Elevated serum ferritin is a common clinical finding. The etiology of hyperferritinemia in the Asia-Pacific population is less clear due to a low prevalence of known HFE mutations such as C282Y and H63D, as well as an increased prevalence of viral hepatitis and hereditary anemia. A retrospective case review of 80 patients of Asian ethnicity referred to three subspecialists in tertiary care teaching hospitals between January 1997 and March 2005 for assessment of hyperferritinemia was performed. |
