Hepatic Iron, Serum Ferritin, <i>HFE</i> Mutation, and Hepatic Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis C

Abstract

Hepatic iron deposition was uncommon and mild in Korean CH-C. Neither hepatic iron deposition nor serum ferritin were significantly related to the severity of hepatic fibrosis, which does not support the significant role of iron in the progression of hepatic fibrosis.
