A Rare Case of a Dual Diagnosis of Liver Disease

Abstract

We present a rare presentation of a patient with combined Hereditary Hemochromatosis and Autoimmune Hepatitis who was an emergency presentation and who failed to improve until this dual diagnosis was realized and treatment for both was implemented. This case highlights the importance of the liver screen in clinical practice and serves as a learning point for doctors in training as well as specialists.
