Hello, 31M, went to doctor to talk about my anxiety and she recommended some blood work.

June 10th results
Iron - 111 ug/dL
TIBC - 258 ug/dL
Iron saturation - 43.02%
Ferritin - 1170 ng/mL

That high ferritin level caused me to go back and have my ferritin checked again 6 days later.

June 16th results
Ferritin - 1057 ng/mL

This high ferritin result landed me with an ultrasound to check out my liver and a referral to a hematologist. They didn’t find anything super concerning on my ultrasound. And the hematologist had more bloodwork ran.

August 5th results
Ferritin - 728 ng/mL
Serum iron - 101 mcg/dL
Iron binding capacity - 280 mcg/dL
Iron/IBC % saturation - 36%
Hemochromatosis mutation - heterozygous H63D

The hematologist also ran tests for inflammation and autoimmune issues causes for the high ferritin levels and those both came back negative. I go back for my follow up with the hematologist on the 25th what are the odds I get diagnosed with Hereditary Hemochromatosis?
