Hemochromatosis

Hemochromatosis is a disorder of iron metabolism causes by insufficient excretion of surplus iron which results in iron overload. Most susceptible organs are the liver that can develop cirrhosis and pancreas in which a diabetes may be caused.

Management

As the automatic regulation of iron storage is disturbed this has to be controlled manually by regular iron measurements and phlebotomy.
