AIH diagnosis is typically suspected after ruling out other causes of hepatitis (such as vial hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson\u2019s disease, and primary biliary cirrhosis) through serological tests and by findings of high titers of certain autoantibodies (ANA and anti-SMA for type 1 AIH and anti-LKM-1 for type 2 AIH). AIH like most inflammatory conditions is associated with increased ferritin levels (acute-phase reactant) but typically near-normal transferrin saturation. The presence of excessive ferritin level in absence of high-transferrin saturation helps differentiate secondary iron overload from hemochromatosis where transferrin saturation is typically high. We herein describe a case of AIH that presented with high ferritin levels and transferrin saturation suggesting a diagnosis of hemochromatosis and needed arduous work-up to arrive at accurate diagnosis of AIH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/872987","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,19]],"date-time":"2013-08-19T17:02:03Z","timestamp":1376931723000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Autoimmune Hepatitis: Diagnostic Dilemma in the Setting of Suspected Iron Overload"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6665-0952","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"In Chul","family":"An","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Clinical Center, Michigan State University, 788 Service Road, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashish K.","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Clinical Center, Michigan State University, 788 Service Road, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9688-9032","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Srujan","family":"Ameda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Clinical Center, Michigan State University, 788 Service Road, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9215-8152","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Heather S.","family":"Laird-Fick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Clinical Center, Michigan State University, 788 Service Road, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra050408"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2011\/390916"},{"issue":"3","key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2796.1994.tb00802.x","volume":"236","year":"1994","journal-title":"Journal of Internal Medicine"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3324\/haematol.2008.005405"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0676.2000.020006482.x"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5581\/1516-8484.20120079"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crigm\/2013\/872987.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crigm\/2013\/872987.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crigm\/2013\/872987.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T14:03:20Z","timestamp":1498053800000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crigm\/2013\/872987\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":6,"alternative-id":["872987","872987"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/872987","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6528","2090-6536"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6528"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6536"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
