Hemochromatosis is a medical condition where there is an excess amount of iron in the body, leading to organ damage and failure if left untreated. It is also known as iron overload disease or iron storage disease. Other synonyms for hemochromatosis include hereditary hemochromatosis, genetic iron overload, familial iron overload, and idiopathic hemochromatosis. These terms all refer to the same disease, which can be caused by genetic mutations or other underlying conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing hemochromatosis and preventing long-term complications. Treatment options include regular blood removal or phlebotomy, iron chelation therapy, and dietary changes to reduce iron intake.
