1/3 INDIRECT HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA Saw a 50M in clinic for isolated indirect hyperbilirubinemia. Known thalassemia trait. His bilirubin has chronically hovered around 3 mg/dL, but 6 months ago jumped to 5–6 and stayed there. Got me thinking about causes of elevated indirect bili.

1/3 CHRONIC NON-ANEMIC IRON DEFICIENCY I have seen quite a few patients with chronically depleted iron stores (ferritin < 10 x several years) who never develop anemia. How is that possible? ✅ The body needs ~20–25 mg of iron/day to support new RBC production
