Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis is a condition in which the body accumulates an excess of iron, which is deposited gradually in organs such as the liver, the heart, and the pancreas. Over time, this excess can affect their function.
Common symptoms: It may go unnoticed for years or present with tiredness, joint pain, abdominal discomfort, or changes in skin color.
Common causes: It often has a hereditary origin related to the way the body absorbs and stores iron, though it can also be due to other causes.
Which specialist treats it? The hematologist and the internist are the professionals who evaluate the management of iron in the body and can study hemochromatosis. In the face of a family history or persistent symptoms, an evaluation with the specialist helps clarify the picture.
