Cardiac Function in Patients With Hereditary Hemochromatosis
This study will examine the effect of iron buildup in the hearts of patients with hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), a genetic disease that causes the body to accumulate excess amounts of iron.
Clinical Trials

Hemochromatosis in the Japanese
Hemochromatosis in the Japanese is extremely rare; only 19 cases to date have been described
Hemochromatosis Screening
Hereditary Hemochromatosis fits the criteria set by the World Health Organization for population screening for a disease:
Hemochromatosis Symptoms
Probably the greatest difficulty in diagnosing early hemochromatosis is that it is nonspecific and symptoms are vague.
Hemochromatosis Treatment
The mainstay of hemochromatosis treatment is bloodletting also known as phlebotomy or venesection. This treatment is life long after diagnosis
Hemochromatosis:Phlebotomy Versus Erythrocytapheresis Therapy
In this project we plan to evaluate the effectiveness of erythrocytapheresis against phlebotomy, both regarding the impact on the reduction in hemochromatosis as well as reduction in patient 'burden'.
Hereditary Hemochromatosis
Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) is the most common genetic disorder of persons of northern European extraction.
Hereditary Hemochromatosis-It can be Treated
Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) is the most common genetic disorder of persons of northern European extraction. The mortality of HH can be reduced by early diagnosis and treatment by blood letting
Iron Absorbtion by HFe Carriers
Possible diet & genetic interaction was investigated by testing iron absorption of carriers for the genetic mutation for hemochromatosis,
Iron Pills Can Harm
Many people remember the old 'tired blood' advertising claims and still believe that iron pills will help if you suffer from chronic fatigue
Iron: Too Much Can Harm You
Several studies have shown that high blood levels of iron are associated with an increased risk of suffering heart attacks and cancers, particularly those of the esophagus and bladder
Ironic Health
Hereditary Hemochromatosis or too Much Iron Is Destroying The Health Of Millions Hereditary Hemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder of persons of northern European extraction
Stroke With Transfusions Changing to Hydroxyurea (SWiTCH)
Compare transfusions and chelation therapy with hydroxyurea and phlebotomy therapy for the prevention of secondary stroke and management of iron overload in children with sickle cell anemia
The impact of iron overload and its treatment on quality of life
To assess the literature for the impact of iron overload and infusion Iron Chelation Therapy (ICT) on patients' quality of life (QoL), and the availability of QoL instruments for patients undergoing infusion ICT.
Type 2 Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis type 2 or juvenile hemochromatosis is different from the more common hemochromatosis type 1 or HFE related hemochromatosis primarily in that it is a more severe disease
What is Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis (HE-mo-kro-ma-TOE-sis) is a disease in which too much iron builds up in your body. When this happens, the iron can poison the organs and lead to organ failure
Who gets Hemochromatosis
Hereditary hemochromatosis is the most common form of hemochromatosis. It is predominately a disorder of persons of northern European extraction.
