Abstract Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic disorder characterized by increased total iron body storage. It is one of the most commonly identified genetic causes of liver cirrhosis. Here we report a 43-year-old male who was previously diagnosed with crohn’s disease, found to have normal hemoglobin and hematocrit. Additional lab tests revealed high ferritin and transferrin saturation. Upon further evaluation, he was diagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis. The presented case will shed some light on the rare coexistence of crohn’s disease and hemochromatosis and some problems in diagnostics related to the presence of the two conditions in the same patient.
