Abstract | Diagnosing hyperferritinemia can be challenging due to the nonspecific nature of symptoms and various potential causes. This case report discusses the intricacies faced when diagnosing an elderly individual with hyperferritinemia, which eventually led to a specific diagnosis. An elderly patient presented with two months of fatigue, fever, and malaise, initially receiving several diagnoses. Despite some treatments, the patient's condition worsened, prompting further evaluation. Further investigation revealed a rare diagnosis. The progression of the disease led to the decision of palliative care. This case emphasizes the challenges in diagnosing elderly individuals and the importance of comprehensive follow-up and broad differential diagnosis. The need for a thorough investigation in the face of specific indicators is underscored. The patient's non-response to certain treatments required the consideration of less common conditions in the differential diagnosis. The case offers insights into addressing treatment suitability and making necessary adjustments. The situation underscores the need for careful evaluation, especially in unusual presentations, and the importance of timely conversations about care options. Lessons from this case assist healthcare professionals in understanding and managing intricate presentations in the elderly. |
