If there is doubt about the result they offer MRI scan.
I know that serum ferritin levels can be raised in arthritis, inflammatory conditions, infections.....hepatitis and excessive use of alcohol......so along with the iron screening, I had Liver function tests, Serum Ferritin, B12, folates, Total Iron binding Capacity, Transferrin Saturation, Common Reactive Protein(shows up infections - though it doesn't tell you what is infected) and also screening for arthritis.(it felt like an armful of blood)
Thankfully, all my results were within the normal levels.
If any of the results had been abnormal I would have been referred for MRI scan and possibly a liver biopsy.
