7

- if two 282Y genes or 1 282Y and 1 H63D then you have the disease
8
Q
clinical sequelae of hemochromatosis
A
- arthritis in MCP joins, “bronze diabetes”
- worse with EtOH or HCV
- more risk for cancer than with wilsons
9
Q
iron stores associated with hemochromatosis
A
- normal iron is 4 gms
- hemochromatosis can get to 15-40
10
Q
diagnosis of hemochromatosis
A
- iron saturation: >60% men and >50% women
- ferritin 500-6000 ng/ml
- liver biopsy is gold standard with iron circulation of iron index, if 1.9 - then disease present
- CT: liver is white
- MRI: liver is black
11
Q
treatment for hemochromatosis
A
- phlebotomy
- if cant tolerate, use deferoxamine
12
Q
chronic autoimmune hepatitis antibodies
A
- type 1: ANA, Anti-SMA P-ANCA antibodies
- common in celiac disease, anti-IgA antibodies will be present
13
Q
chronic autoimmune hepatitis diagnosis
A
- interface hepatitis on biopsy
- increased globulins to >3, usually IgG
- autoantibodies present
- may be false positive HCV by ELISA II due to hypergammaglobulinemia
14
Q
diagnosis of wilsons
