fatty liver hot sector intercept 280% up, page-51

The problem is that the MRI scans don't give the clinically relevant information. Doctors are primarily interested in data that affect diagnosis and prognosis. As I said before, in NAFLD we are not really interested in the total fat in the liver which doesn't influence prognosis, only whether that fat is causing inflammation and fibrosis which does influence prognosis, and which the MRI cannot (yet) distinguish. In Fe overload conditions we are mostly interested again in the amount of fibrosis as the humble serum ferritin blood test gives us a pretty good assessment of how much Fe needs extracting from the patient. The German suggested diagnostic pathway provided by melone is interesting but the Ferriscan adds little clinically significant information over ferritin and transferrin saturations except in a small minority of cases.
