Hemochromatosis (Also spelled Haemochromatosis or Hemochromatosis) is a common genetic disease characterized by the accumulation of iron in organs throughout the body. It is the most common form of iron overload disorder and can cause several serious health problems.

Hemochromatosis is a disorder that causes your body to absorb too much iron from the food you eat. Iron is an important mineral that helps your body get oxygen from your blood and make new red blood cells. The extra iron builds up in various organs in your body, including the liver, heart, joints, pancreas, and pituitary gland.

The primary symptom of hemochromatosis is elevated levels of iron in the blood. Other symptoms may include fatigue, joint pain, weight loss, and abnormal liver tests. In some cases, it can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and other organ damage.

Hemochromatosis can be treated with dietary changes, such as avoiding iron-rich foods and eating foods high in vitamin C. It can also be treated with regular blood removal (phlebotomy) or with medications that can lower the body's iron levels.

The long-term outlook for people with hemochromatosis is generally very good if the condition is diagnosed and treated early. With appropriate treatment, most people can lead a normal life and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
