Show Notes

Dr Charlie Andrews speaks to Dr Jeremy Shearman about everything related to high iron levels (hyperferritinaemia).  We discuss how iron is regulated within the body, causes of raised iron levels, and then we dive into hereditary haemochromatosis - when to suspect, how to test, who to refer (and to whom!), and how the condition is managed.
