hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.
your current scenario points towards hemochromatosis.
further evaluation needed.
serum iron, ferritin levels, genetic testing for hemochromatosis and liver biopsy maybe taken to rule out hemochromatosis.
hope to answer your concern.
wish you good and sound health.
regards
Dr Tayyab Malik
