Hereditary Haemochromatosis Liver Iron and Phlebotomy Calculator

Estimates liver iron concentration and calculates phlebotomy frequency required to achieve ferritin target in hereditary haemochromatosis (HFE C282Y homozygote) using serum ferritin and transferrin saturation.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Estimates liver iron concentration and calculates phlebotomy frequency required to achieve ferritin target in hereditary haemochromatosis (HFE C282Y homozygote) using serum ferritin and transferrin saturation

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Serum ferritin — The serum ferritin recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Transferrin saturation — The transferrin saturation recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the hh iron calculator result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the serum ferritin, transferrin saturation for the scenario you are assessing. Estimates liver iron concentration and calculates phlebotomy frequency required to achieve ferritin target in hereditary haemochromatosis (HFE C282Y homozygote) using serum ferritin and transferrin saturation. Use the hh iron calculator result to inform your calculation.
