Hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder of iron metabolism. As a result of the high frequency of hereditary hemochromatosis–associated mutations, the American Medical Association recommended the establishment of guidelines for population screening, as follows: Screening tests for the general population comprise measurement of serum transferrin saturation or serum iron concentration; when transferrin saturation is greater than 60% or greater than 50% in women who are premenopausal, or when serum iron concentration is greater than 150 mcg/dL, other measurements are recommended, Screening and diagnosis cannot be based on single-measurement transferrin saturation or serum iron concentrations, because they can be falsely increased as the result of diet, alcohol consumption, or other liver diseases, Adams and coworkers suggested the introduction of the unbound iron-binding capacity measurement to preselect patients for genotyping [Full Text].

Diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis is usually based on a combination of various genetic or phenotypic criteria. [103], Liver biopsy is not required for the diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis; however, liver biopsy may be useful in C282Y homozygotes with suspected liver disease, in C282Y homozygotes or heterozygotes with serum ferritin levels greater than 1000 mcg/L, in patients without C282Y mutations with unexplained iron overload, and in patients with additional risk factors for liver disease Hereditary haemochromatosis.
