Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear which test showed that she is having iron in blood??Compared to adults, infants and newborns have very high iron levels. These should not be mistaken for iron overload.
But rarely juvenile hemochromatosis,and thalassemia may present iron overload. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
