Iron overload was defined as otherwise unexplained elevation of serum ferritin concentration (>300 ng/mL in men, >200 ng/mL in women), 3+ or 4+ intrahepatocytic iron visualized by Perls' acid ferrocyanide staining, or hepatic iron index ≥1.9 [ 18- 20].

Hepatic iron index (HII) was first introduced in 1986 and was used frequently to support a diagnosis of HH when the HII was >1.9, prior to the advent of HFE mutation analysis.
