Descriptor hiperferritinemia
Entry term(s) ferritina sérica aumentada
ferritina sérica elevada
hiperferritinemia dismetabólica
ultrahiperferritinemia
Scope note: Nivel elevado de FERRITINA en el suero. A menudo se asocia a SOBRECARGA DE HIERRO, transfusiones de sangre repetidas, neoplasias malignas, síndromes metabólicos relacionados con el hierro, infección viral, lesión o disfunción hepática e insuficiencia renal. La hiperferritinemia en los síndromes metabólicos relacionados con el hierro (p. ej., enfermedad de Still y SÍNDROMES HEMOFAGOCÍTICOS) se denomina hiperferritinemia dismetabólica.

Scope note: A finding of elevated serum level of FERRITIN. It is often associated with IRON OVERLOAD, repeated blood transfusions, malignancy, iron metabolic syndromes, virus infection, liver injury or dysfunction, and renal failure. Hyperferritinemia in iron metabolic syndromes (e.g., Still's diseases, and HEMOPHAGOCYTIC SYNDROME) is referred to as dysmetabolic hyperferritinemia.
