Hemochromatosis

Annals of Internal Medicine
Hemochromatosis is an inheritable condition that mainly affects White populations of European descent. Most patients remain asymptomatic, but others develop advanced organ damage that reduces quality of life and long-term survival. Arthropathy, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and cardiomyopathy are key clinical ...

Hemochromatosis

Medical Clinics of North America, 1989
This article discusses the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of idiopathic and secondary hemochromatosis. Pedigree studies documenting the hereditary evidence for hemochromatosis are discussed. Current theories for the molecular mechanisms that result in iron overload are presented.

Hemochromatosis: pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of hepatic iron overload with a focus on MRI

Expert Review of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2018
Introduction: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder that occurs in approximately 1 in 200–250 individuals. Mutations in the HFE gene lead to excess iron absorption. Excess iron in the form of non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI)

Hemochromatosis

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2004
Hemochromatosis is a common genetic disease with a wide range of clinical expression: from no symptoms to cirrhosis of the liver. The discovery of the gene has led to a genetic blood test useful in the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. Treatment by phlebotomy is simple and efficient and can prevent the development of cirrhosis, leading to a normal life ...

Juvenile hemochromatosis

Seminars in Hematology, 2002
Juvenile hemochromatosis or type 2 hemochromatosis is a rare inherited recessive disease, which leads to severe iron overload earlier in life than HFE-related hemochromatosis. Increased transferrin saturation and serum ferritin as well as parenchymal iron deposition and liver fibrosis may be observed in childhood.

Hemochromatosis

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 1999
The mainstay of treatment for hemochromatosis is therapeutic phlebotomy. The procedure is safe, effective, and relatively cheap. Deferoxamine (iron chelation) is necessary only in iron-loaded individuals who cannot undergo therapeutic phlebotomy. If therapy is initiated before complications develop, it is expected that no complications will ever ...
