Haemochromatosis, also spelled hemochromatosis, is a hereditary disease characterized by improper processing by the body of dietary iron which causes iron to accumulate in a number of body tissues, eventually causing organ dysfunction. It is the main iron overload disorder. Signs and symptoms Haemochromatosis is notoriously protean, i.e., it presents with symptoms that are often initially attributed to other diseases. Symptoms may include: Malaise Liver cirrhosis (with an increased ris ...
