Metabolic iron disorder after liver transplant: Hereditary hemochromatosis in a pediatric recipient of a pediatric donor with unknown HFE C282Y homozygous mutation - 22/11/20


Summary |
We report a case of an iron overload syndrome twenty years after a liver transplantation in a patient without feature for secondary iron overload. The diagnosis of hemochromatosis with homozygous mutationC282Y in the graft was made possible with liver biopsy, using real-time PCR technique with Light-Cycler 480. Our case suggests that in case of iron overload syndrome after liver transplantation we can perform a liver biopsy with real-time PCR technique that allows us to search for the mutation of the HFE.
