In today’s episode, Dr. Christy Sutton breaks down the crucial markers to monitor for iron overload, from classic liver enzymes and iron panels to the often-overlooked cardiovascular and autoimmune risk factors that can clue you into complications before they become serious. You’ll learn about ancillary labs to watch for side effects in the liver, kidneys, brain, hormones, cardiovascular system, and more. Dr. Sutton unpacks the practical nuances of interpreting test results, why “mildly elevated” liver enzymes should never be dismissed, and how overlapping factors like copper, magnesium, and vitamin deficiencies can shape both diagnosis and management.
