Relation of Liver Siderosis to Liver Fibrosis in Hemodialysis Patients With Severe Hyperferritinemia Secondary to High Doses of Intravenous Iron Supplementation
Aggressive iron substitution in hemodialysis (HD) patients leads to iron overload. The association between liver siderosis and fibrosis is still debatable. We studied the association of liver siderosis with liver fibrosis in HD patients. Furthermore, we studied the performance of liver stiffness measurements (LSMs) in identifying advanced liver fibrosis. We investigated the performance of biochemical indicators of iron status in identifying advanced liver fibrosis.
