Old World Aviaries Hemochromatosis: A metabolic disease of softbills by Darrel K. Styles, DVM Hill Country Aviaries, L.L.C. One of the biggest challenges of keeping and maintaining a large softbill collection or just a single pet is the problem of the iron storage disease known as hemochromatosis. This disease affects a wide range of species including mynahs, toucans, tanagers, birds-of-paradise, and many others. It is not a disease we see in parrots, finches, or canaries. Hemochromatosis is probably the leading cause of death of mynas and toucans in captivity, and collections of birds-of-paradise have been decimated by this malady. The cause is unknown, but the effect is a massive uptake and storage of iron in the liver. This excessive storage leads to hepatomegaly or liver enlargement. Consequently, some degree of liver dysfunction is observed. However, the most remarkable aspect of the pathology of the disease is liver enlargement. This enlargement leads to ascites or fluid exuded into the air sacs. This fluid in combination with an oversized liver results in dyspnea, or difficulty in breathing. The clinical presentation of these birds is often a myna or toucan with a swollen abdominal area accompanied by open-mouthed breathing. I have seen this problem displayed so severely in mynahs that if you changed their position from upright to lateral, the birds began to drown in their own fluids, which were leaking from the air sacs into the lung. Large quantities of fluid may be taken from a small bird.

Few would even have heard of hereditary hemochromatosis. But this disease, characterized by the uptake of too much iron into a sufferer's body, affects one in every three hundred Caucasians, and one in nine is a carrier. Iron is crucial for the working of hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to all other parts of the body. But too much iron can be as disabling as too little. In hereditary hemochromatosis deposits of iron appear in practically every major organ, particularly the liver, pancreas and heart, resulting in complete and widespread organ failure. It was first described in 1865. The majority of patients have a Celtic ancestor who lived 60 or 70 generations ago.

You are here: Home Health Information Health Topics Blood Disorders Hemochromatosis What is Hemochromatosis? Hemochromatosis, also called iron overload disease, is the most common genetic disorder in the US. It is a metabolic disorder that causes increased absorption of iron, which is deposited in the body tissues and organs. The iron accumulates in the body where it may become toxic and cause damage. What Causes Hemochromatosis? The carrier frequency is estimated at one in 10 to one in 15, which means that one in 200 to one in 400 persons has hemochromatosis. Although hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disorder (which usually means men and women are equally affected), this condition is 10 times more common in men than women. The age of onset is also earlier in males than females. The reasons for these differences are thought to be due to iron loss through menses in females. In other words, females do not build up iron as quickly over time.

College of American Pathologists Home Request Account Contact Us Terms and Conditions ... Feedback Search Answers to your questions about hereditary hemochromatosis Published on: July 01, 1997 What is hereditary hemochromatosis? Hereditary hemochromatosis is the inherited tendency for some people to accumulate too much iron. It is an iron overload disease. Your body derives the iron it needs from the food you eat. The individual without iron overload absorbs only as much iron as is necessary. People with iron overload, however, absorb too much iron and cannot rid their bodies of extra iron. Over time, the iron accumulates in their organs and other body tissues. Pathologists, doctors who treat patients through laboratory medicine, say that hemochromatosis can be fatal unless it is diagnosed early and successfully treated. How common is it? Hemochromatosis isn't rare: about one in 10 people are carriers-they have one of the abnormal genes necessary to cause hemochromatosis. About one in 200 carries two abnormal genes-and is likely to have significant problems from the disease. If one person in a family is found to have iron overload disease, it's likely that another person in the family may have it, too. Hemochromatosis is most often diagnosed when a person is between 40 and 60 years old, but it can be detected in younger and older people. Younger men and women can have problems at an earlier age. Women often develop symptoms at a later age than men because women lose significant amounts of iron through menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation.

Hemochromatosis Definition What is iron overload what is hemochromatosis? Iron overload is a condition in which the body accumulates too much iron. Humans extract needed iron from the diet, but when the regulation of intestinal iron absorption is altered, the body can absorb too much iron, leading to iron overload. Excess iron is deposited in the cells of the liver, heart, pancreas, joints, and pituitary gland. If left untreated, organ damage can result. In the United States, the most common cause of iron overload is a genetic disorder known as "hereditary hemochromatosis." People with hereditary hemochromatosis have an inherited propensity to over-absorb iron. Occasionally, some patients become iron-overloaded after years of excessive iron ingestion or with repeated blood transfusions, but most cases are genetic. Signs and Symptoms What are the signs and symptoms of hemochromatosis? In the early stages of hemochromatosis, symptoms are non-specific and can include fatigue, palpitations, joint pain, non-specific stomach pain, and impotence, as well as loss of menstruation and infertility. Abnormalities of liver function tests can also occur in the absence of symptoms. The signs and symptoms of advanced hemochromatosis include gray or bronze skin pigmentation, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, diabetes, heart disease, joint disease, chronic abdominal pain, sever fatigue and certain infections. Death may result from cardiac arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, diabetes, liver failure, and liver cancer.

Adult Medicine General Health Acne Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia ... Information Hemochromatosis Basic Information Hemochromatosis is a metabolic disease that results in the excessive accumulation of iron in the body tissues and organs. Eventually, this over-absorption of iron causes body toxicity and can turn into severe body damage. Without treatment, hemochromatosis can lead to organ failure. This condition is also called “iron overload disease”. It is the most common genetic disorder in the United States. Iron is an essential part of a healthy body’s chemical make-up. A body that is functioning well routinely extracts iron from the diet. The most common sources of iron in the diet are red meat and products that are made from iron-enriched grains. Once the body absorbs iron, it converts the iron into hemoglobin, a molecule in the blood that aids in oxygen transportation. While healthy people typically absorb approximately ten percent of all the iron in the food they eat, a person with hemochromatosis absorbs approximately 20 percent. Because the body cannot release such a large amount of iron, it begins to build up in the body tissues and the organs. The organs that are most affected by this accumulation of iron are the pancreas, heart and liver. As aforementioned, hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder. In fact, it is sometimes called “hereditary hemochromatosis”. This condition is most common among Caucasians of northern European descent. However, other ethnic groups can also be affected. A little under one percent of all United States Caucasians are at risk of developing this disease. At the same time, men are about five times more likely than women to develop hemochromatosis.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Hemochromatosis Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Hemochromatosis is an inherited blood disorder that causes the body to retain excessive amounts of iron. This iron overload can lead to serious health consequences, most notably cirrhosis of the liver. Description Hemochromatosis is also known as iron overload, bronze diabetes, hereditary hemochromatosis and familial hemochromatosis. The inherited disorder causes increased absorption of intestinal iron, well beyond that needed to replace the body's loss of iron. Iron overload diseases afflict as many as 1.5 million persons in the United States. The most common of these, as well as one of the most common genetic disorders in the United States, is hereditary hemochromatosis. Men and women are equally affected by hemochromatosis, but women are diagnosed later in life because of blood loss from menstruation and childbirth . It most commonly appears in patients between the ages of 40-60 years, since it takes many years for the body to accumulate excessive iron. Symptoms appear later in females than in males-usually after menopause Hemochromatosis causes excess iron storage in several organs of the body including the liver, pancreas, endocrine glands, heart, skin, joints, and intestinal lining. The buildup of iron in these organs can lead to serious complications, including

Haemochromatosis, Psoriasis Vulgaris and Other Diseases Associated with HLA Class I Alleles Collaboration Form MS word format pdf format Professor Roger L. Dawkins Background Some HLA - disease associations appear to involve Class I rather that Class II. Haemochromatosis has been known to be associated with HLA-A3 and other polymorphic markers telomeric of HLA-A. In 1996, the C282Y mutation of the HFE gene was shown to be the best marker for the disease (Feder et al. 1996). Recently it was reported that a mutation of the HFE gene is found commonly but not universally in patients. The HFE gene is similar to PERB11 (MIC), Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein, neonatal Fc Receptor and HLA Class I (Tay et al. 1997). It remains to be shown whether HFE or other similar genes are involved directly in the pathogenesis of haemochromatosis, but it seems likely that the mechanism will be unraveled during the course of the workshop. A recent paper in Nature described the crystal structure of HFE and its binding to transferrin receptor (Bennett et al. 2000). Psoriasis has been associated with HLA-Cw6 (Tiilikainen et al. 1980), but again there are associations with other polymorphisms telomeric or close to HLA-B. Several candidate genes are being investigated actively. These include the S gene, SC1, Pg8 and PERB11(MIC). We have recently shown that PERB11 (MIC) is present in the epidermis including ducts and follicles in normal and affected skin and we therefore suggest a role for PERB11 and other MHC genes in the pathogenesis of psoriasis (Tay et al. 2000). Oka and colleagues have also localised the susceptibility region for Psoriasis Vulgaris telomeric to the HLA-C gene (Oka et al. (In Press)).
