The major and common role of ferritin is to bind Fe2+, oxidize it and sequester it in a safe form in the cell, and to release iron according to cellular needs. Ferritin is also present at a considerably low proportion in normal mammalian sera and is relatively iron poor compared to tissues. Serum ferritin might provide a useful and convenient method of assessing the status of iron storage, and its measurement has become a routine laboratory test. However, many additional factors, including inflammation, infection, metabolic abnormalities, and malignancy\u2014all of which may elevate serum ferritin\u2014complicate interpretation of this value. Despite this long history of clinical use, fundamental aspects of the biology of serum ferritin are still unclear. According to the high number of factors involved in regulation of ferritin synthesis, secretion, and uptake, and in its central role in iron metabolism, hyperferritinemia is a relatively common finding in clinical practice and is found in a large spectrum of conditions, both genetic and acquired, associated or not with iron overload. The diagnostic strategy to reveal the cause of hyperferritinemia includes family and personal medical history, biochemical and genetic tests, and evaluation of liver iron by direct or indirect methods. This review is focused on the forms of inherited hyperferritinemia with or without iron overload presenting with normal transferrin saturation, as well as a step-by-step approach to distinguish these forms to the acquired forms, common and rare, of isolated hyperferritinemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24032560","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,30]],"date-time":"2023-01-30T04:58:25Z","timestamp":1675054705000},"page":"2560","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Hereditary Hyperferritinemia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Alberto","family":"Piperno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Rare Disease\u2014Disorders of Iron Metabolism, Fondazione IRCCS, San Gerardo dei Tintori, European Reference Network\u2014EuroBloodNet, 20900 Monza, Italy"},{"name":"Centro Ricerca Tettamanti, 20900 Monza, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9902-9641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Pelucchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca, 20900 Monza, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raffaella","family":"Mariani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Rare Disease\u2014Disorders of Iron Metabolism, Fondazione IRCCS, San Gerardo dei Tintori, European Reference Network\u2014EuroBloodNet, 20900 Monza, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1185","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2005.40998.x","article-title":"The evaluation of hyperferritinemia: An updated strategy based on advances in detecting genetic abnormalities","volume":"100","author":"Schved","year":"2005","journal-title":"Am.
