“…Liver biopsy frequently shows siderosis and transferrin saturation, and the serum iron and ferritin concentrations are commonly increased. Hepatic hepcidin (HAMP) expression was reduced in patients with PC independently of their HFE genotype, when compared to patients with hereditary hemochromatosis and a comparable iron overload but without PC [37]. However, in another study, serum hepcidin levels were increased in a series of thirty PC patients [38].…”

“…This heterozygous mutation was also found in one patient in a series of 96 PCT patients reported by Ajioka et al, (14) resulting in an alíele frequency of 0.5%. However, ferritin levels were normal at the time of diagnosis in these two patients.…”

“…Phlebotomy protocols similar to those applied to hemochromatosis control the skin and liver complications. Mutations of HFE are found with increased prevalence in patients with PCT and hepcidin levels have been found to be decreased [34].…”
