I have hemochromatosis. Never really had a problem with it. I usually get my ferritin checked every 3 months and get a pleb with my numbers reach over 50. I have never had elevated levels when I ve had blood work done. Last time I went to my GP was about 1 1/2 yrs. All levels were normal. I ve recently been overly busy and haven t gotten my ferritin checked. I was sent for blood work from my GP. Ferritin came back at 209, but also my glucose is 101 and my AST is 45 and ALT is 56. He wants to send me for more specific liver blood work. Any ideas why my glucose, AST & ALT are elevated? Thanks
Welcome at it Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns... What is your age ? Have u suffering from diabetes?  Are u taking any meds?  Is your fasting blood sugar 101 or random?  Based upon the lab values you have mentioned it appears to be a slightly deranged liver functions which can be explained with hemochromatosis... Have you done your liver ultrasound? What is the texture of liver? You should meet Hepatologist so that you can be examined and investigated accordingly... As far as blood glucose levels are concerned I don't think it is worrisome.... If you are really concerned get your fasting blood glucose level done... Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.
