ABSTRACT

Hereditary hemochromatosis is the title for a group of autosomal passive genetic disorders that cause expanded iron assimilation and consequent collection of iron in tissues and organs, basically the liver, which can lead to disturbance of the structure and function of the organ. The abundance of iron in the liver most regularly causes cirrhosis, which can create liver cancer, in the pancreas it can cause diabetes, whereas iron amassing in other parts of the body can lead to cardiomyopathy, skin pigmentation, and arthritis.

Hereditary hemochromatosis is an iron storage disease that results in reduced uptake of iron into cells. The abundance of iron is stored in organs, particularly the liver, heart, and pancreas.
