How do I know if I have HFE hereditary haemochromatosis?
What signs or symptoms may make you suspect you may have HFE hereditary haemochromatosis. People who have experience in HFE hereditary haemochromatosis offer advice of what things may make you suspicious and which doctor you should go to to receive treatment
The only way to be sure is to have the genetic test.
Symptoms and family history can raise suspicion.
However the symptoms are similar to many other conditions.
The blood tests for serum ferritin and transferrin saturation may also raise suspicion but are not conclusive. Again there are many causes for raised results, particularly with ferritin.

By being tested for it

Through genetic testing you can confirm if you have the gene mutations for HFE. To determine if genetic testing is necessary, checking your ferritin, iron, and iron saturation levels can be beneficial (or checking with your family members to find out if they have HFE or if they are carriers).
