What is another word for classic hemochromatosis?
Pronunciation: [klˈasɪk hˌiːməkɹˌə͡ʊmɐtˈə͡ʊsɪs] (IPA) 
Classic hemochromatosis, also known as hereditary hemochromatosis, is a genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This can lead to iron overload and damage to various organs in the body, such as the liver, pancreas, and heart. Other terms that are commonly used to describe this condition include familial hemochromatosis, primary hemochromatosis, and HFE-related hemochromatosis. Classic hemochromatosis is often asymptomatic in its early stages, but symptoms can develop over time and include fatigue, joint pain, and abdominal pain. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent serious health complications from developing.
