Hello and welcome to HCM,
Iron levels can be raised in number of conditions.
Repeated blood transfusions, excessive iron intake, hereditary disease- hemachromatosis are few conditions in which the blood iron levels are increased.
High level of iron in blood can be abnormally deposited in various organs like skin, heart, liver
This abnormal deposition can lead to dysfunction of that particular organ.
Various modes of management are available like phelebotomy, chelation agents.
However, first the cause of raised iron in the blood has to be found out.
So, consult your hematologist
for clinical examination, relevant investigations and appropriate investigations.
Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
