Biomarkers
Start with the primary markers, then add the companions that change how the primary result reads. Each link cites its source.
FerritinPrimary marker
AASLD uses a raised ferritin as a screening result and ferritin above 1000 µg/L as a liver biopsy threshold.
Tests: Labcorp 12, Quest Diagnostics 3, with ranges on the biomarker page
Iron SaturationPrimary marker
AASLD uses transferrin saturation of 45% or more as a screening result that prompts HFE testing.
Tests: Labcorp 6, Quest Diagnostics 2, with ranges on the biomarker page
ALTCompanion marker
AASLD recommends liver biopsy when liver enzymes such as ALT are raised.
Tests: Labcorp 24, Quest Diagnostics 19, with ranges on the biomarker page
ASTCompanion marker
