Hereditary Haemochromatosis

Hereditary haemochromatosis is a genetic condition where the body absorbs too much iron from food, leading to iron build-up in the liver, heart, and other organs. It is the most common genetic condition in people of Northern European descent. Early detection and regular blood removal (phlebotomy) can prevent serious complications.
