The Study of Hemoglobin as the Marking of Iron Overload in the Elderly with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Objective:To observe the relation of hemoglobin(HGB) as the marking of iron overload in the elderly with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Methods:265 elder patients with NAFLD,from our hospital,compared with 178 cases with no NAFLD on some indexes in the same period,the latter included 124 elderly people and 54 young people.Results:In the experimental group and control group and in the elderly patients and young patients,compared with red blood cell(RBC),HGB,et cetera,there was statistically significant difference.Conclusion:The HGB examination is a valid and simple method of understanding the iron overload degree in elderly patients with NAFLD.
