Similar symptoms may occur from the secondary form of hemochromatosis, which can be caused by other diseases such as thalassemia or sideroblastic anemia. Hemochromatosis may also be caused by having a large number of blood transfusions, particularly in patients who get them for inherited or pre-malignant anemias. Occasionally, it may be seen with hemolytic anemia, porphyria cutanea tarda, excessive oral iron ingestion, and chronic alcoholism.

Extractions: Newborn, infant, child, juvenile and adolescent represent different age groups. In this section newborn is defined as birth to six months of age, infant as 7-12 months, child one to five years of age, juvenile as 6 to 12 years of age; adolescent as one 13 to 17; young adult as one 18 to 30 years of age. Definition: Hemochromatosis is a genetic metabolic disorder where a person absorbs too much iron and can result in dangerously high accumulation of iron in vital organs such as liver, heart, joints and brain which is a condition of iron overload. When iron overload presents in someone younger than the age of thirty, it is called Juvenile hemochromatosis (JH). At risk: The gene responsible for juvenile hemochromatosis is located on chromosome one, where the HFE gene, which is associated with adult iron overload is located on chromosome six.

Hemochromatosis And Blood Banking In The U.S. Iron Overload Diseases Assn.
Blood Banking and hemochromatosis in the US IOD is proud The blood banks in Sweden are even screening for hemochromatosis. List of US
http://www.ironoverload.org/bloodbanks.htm

Extractions: Blood Banking and Hemochromatosis in the U.S. IOD is proud to say that after years of working on the problem we have finally made a difference. Since April 1999 the Committee on Blood Safety and Availability has removed the necessity to label hemochromatosis blood for donor use. Now blood banks may apply for a variance from the FDA to use this blood without labeling. For years this blood could be used as donor blood but it had to be labeled that it came from a hemochromatosis patient - Code of Federal Regulation Title 21, 640.3 (d). This is still in place for all blood banks. IOD thinks that the blood banks are the best setting for therapeutic phlebotomies. Because they have the latest equipment and staffs well trained in the process. If they are using this as donor blood then there is no charge to the patient or insurance company. To qualify, this blood will have to meet all other criteria for safety. Most blood banks are throwing away the phlebotomized blood, even while they complain of severe shortages. This blood is not iron rich as is supposed. This blood, which is given more frequently, has longer lived cells and is excellent transfusion blood for those severe anemia patients who need it. The transfusions are of course themselves iron loading and used only for the most severe cases of anemia. So there is a great benefit to reducing the frequency of the transfusions. IOD issued a challenge to American blood banking to measure donor's iron as is done in Sweden. This challenge was issued June 2001 at a workshop sponsored by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Sweden also has used phlebotomies as donor blood since 1984. The blood banks in Sweden are even screening for hemochromatosis.

Extractions: 15 May : 16:57 I have been waiting for 3 weeks now for my genetic test results, how long is normal IronGoddess 09 May : 18:08 Thanx for the response ...I'm a bit concerned that the waiting list for an ultrasound here (in good old Saskatchewn, Canada) is 3 months long. How much do ultrasounds cost elsewhere (does anybody know?)? Thanx again for sharing your knowledge / experience. 08 May : 21:06 IronGoddess, your doctor may be sending you to have the ultrasound to be sure that your liver is not damaged. I would not be too concerned over this. As far as low blood pressure, this can be triggered by HH. Also, you may want to have your blood sugar checked. If you have excessive thirst, that is one sign of diabetes, HOWEVER, I am not saying this is what it is, but it is something to have checked to be on the safe side.

http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/974757337.html

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Hemochromatosis is a condition in which the body accumulates excess amounts of iron. Serious and sometimes fatal health problems may result from the excess iron that accumulates in the body as a result of this genetic disorder. The excess iron slowly builds to toxic levels in tissues of major organs such as the liver, heart, brain, pancreas, lungs, and synovium (joints). These overburdened organs cease to function properly and eventually become diseased. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC) is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans, but it can be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Undiagnosed and untreated HHC can develop into diseases such as diabetes, heart trouble, arthritis, cirrhosis of the liver, neurological problems, depression, impotence, infertility, and liver cancer. Iron build up in those with HHC is slow, usually taking years to build to destructive levels. HHC/Iron overload generally manifests in a male's early thirties and is diagnosed in a male's mid to late fifties. For this reason HHC has acquired the mistaken identity of an older male's disease. HHC can be present in females, adolescents and possibly in children.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> July 2002 is Hemochromatosis Screening Awareness Month. So what exactly does that mean? Hereditary hemochromatosis is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans, but many people have never heard of it. In the United States, as many as one million people have evidence of the disorder, and up to one in every ten people may carry the gene for it. In people who have hemochromatosis, the body accumulates excess amounts of iron. This can result in serious and sometimes fatal health problems. Some diseases associated with hemochromatosis are arthritis, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, heart failure and liver cancer. Signs and Symptoms Early symptoms of hemochromatosis are nonspecific and might include fatigue, heart palpitations, joint pain, non-specific stomach pain, impotence and loss of menstrual periods. Even without other symptoms, people with hemochromatosis may have abnormal liver function test results. Symptoms which reflect the tissue and organ damage that result from the disease usually appear in middle age, although some people may develop problems earlier. Later disease symptoms include gray or bronze coloration to the skin, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, diabetes, hypopituitarism, decreased pituitary or gonadal function, heart disease or heart failure, joint disease, chronic abdominal pain, severe fatigue and certain infections.
