Episode 56: Labs To Monitor In Patients With Hemochromatosis

In today’s episode, Dr. Christy Sutton breaks down the crucial markers to monitor for iron overload, from classic liver enzymes and iron panels to the often-overlooked cardiovascular and autoimmune risk factors that can clue you into complications before they become serious. You’ll learn about ancillary labs to watch for side effects in the liver, kidneys, brain, hormones, cardiovascular system, and more. Dr. Sutton unpacks the practical nuances of interpreting test results, why “mildly elevated” liver enzymes should never be dismissed, and how overlapping factors like copper, magnesium, and vitamin deficiencies can shape both diagnosis and management. Join Dr. Christy Sutton's 6-hour Kharrazian Institute Master Class on Iron Overload & Undiagnosed Anemias and learn the protocols 90% of practitioners miss.Enroll: pages.kharrazianinstitute.com/sutton-anemiaFor patient-oriented functional medicine courses, visit https://drknews.com/online-courses/For practitioner functional medicine certification courses, visit https://kharrazianinstitute.com/For Certified Functional Nutrition education for both practitioners and lay people, visit https://afnlm.com/00:00 Hemochromatosis Patient Lab Monitoring04:45 Glutathione Testing and Liver Health06:35 Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Link12:24 Hemochromatosis and Cardiovascular Risk16:29 Copper and Ceruloplasmin Testing Insights19:49 Copper, Iron, Zinc: Balancing Act24:09 "Solving The Puzzle" Podcast PromoSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/solving-the-puzzle-with-dr-datis-kharrazian.
