Biopsy results greater than 7 mg iron per gram of liver indicate iron overload. Imaging studies can also reveal findings suggestive of iron overload. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to detect iron accumulation in the liver and the heart. MRI may be used together with liver biopsy to diagnose iron overload or independently. However, iron deposition is not reliably predicted by MRI in some instances, such as when iron deposition occurs in the pancreas. Treatment.

Therapeutic phlebotomy is the quickest and most effective way to get iron levels down in a patient.
