    Can a Ferritin Test Diagnose Hemochromatosis?

    Yes, a ferritin test is essential in diagnosing hemochromatosis, a genetic disorder causing excessive iron absorption. Elevated ferritin levels, combined with high transferrin saturation, suggest iron overload. Additional tests, like genetic screening or liver biopsies, confirm the diagnosis. Early detection through ferritin testing prevents complications like liver damage, heart disease, and diabetes.
