Inflammation can increase hepcidin in HFE‐hereditary hemochromatosis
Abstract We present a p.C282Y homozygous patient with high hepcidin levels and normal iron parameters during systemic inflammation. This suggests that in the absence of a proper functioning HFE, resulting in blockage of the BMP/SMAD pathway, the innate low hepcidin concentration can be upregulated b...
