Liver biopsy is recommended when ferritin exceeds 1000 microg/l to establish the presence or absence of cirrhosis, which will affect prognosis and management. iron accumulation confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the absence of the homozygous C282Y mutation or the combined C282Y/H63d genotype may justify a search for rare hereditary forms of non-HFE HH in a specialised centre.
