Research Notes on Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis causes the body to absorb too much iron. The extra iron builds up in the body's organs and damages them. Without treatment, the disease can causes the liver, heart and pancreas to fail. Hemochromatosis affects more men than women. Symptoms are often seen in men between the ages of 30 and 50 and in women over 50, although some people may develop problems by age 20. You have a higher risk of hemochromatosis if someone else in your family has or had the condition.
