Abstract:	Aim The aim of the study was to analyse the reason of elevated hemoglobin concentration in childhood. Background Elevated hemoglobin concentration is a rare abnormality during childhood. There are disorders of hereditary or acquired hyperproliferations of red cells or pseudo high hemoglobin conditions. Materials and methods We present 3 asymptomatic children in whom high hemoglobin concentration was diagnosed by a family doctor. Results Given that the iron concentration was elevated, genetic testing for HFE mutation was carried out. Conclusion Patients presented with HFE mutation might have an increased hemoglobin production.

Keywords:	Hemoglobin Hemochromatosis HFE mutation
