What Causes Elevated ALT Level When Suffering From Haemochromatosis?
I am diagnosed with haemochromatosis. My last blood test shows a alt figure of 87. My previous result was 35 2 months ago. My ferritin is slightly low at 26 iron is 11.3 and tibc of 19. My doctor said all results were satisfactory. Should i be concerned about my alt or wait for my next bloods tests in 2 months time.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. But liver involvement is very common in hemochromatosis. So slightly high alt is expected. No need to worry about that. Just be relaxed. Take your treatment regularly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
