Episode 98 - Liver Storage World | Approach to Hyperferritinaemia

‘This bad boy can fit so much iron in it’ he said slapping the roof of a badly photoshopped molecule of apoferritin superimposed on a car. Is too much ferritin bad for you?

Strap in to your 1992 Honda Civic as the Bloody Minded Crew learn all about ferritin, and why most of the time too much of it has nothing to do with your iron levels at all. Also join Cale specifically as he continues his vendetta against hepatology and their referrals. Timestamps0:59 - Bashar visits the salon2:03 - Hyperferritinaemia overview3:13 - Ferritin vs Iron Overload6:08 - Signs and Symptoms associated with Hyperferritinaemia10:50 - Causes of Hyperferritinaemia w/o Iron Overload16:59 - Hyperferritinaemia w/ Iron Overload21:30 - Chelation22:43 - Erythoferrone24:16 - SummarySupport the showCheck out show notes, additional references and (sometimes) extra content at www.bloodyminded.com.au
