Hemochromatosis

Hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron can build up in the organs, leading to a variety of health problems. If left untreated, hemochromatosis can be fatal.

At Emirates Hospitals, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for hemochromatosis. Our team of experienced hematologists is dedicated to providing the highest quality care to our patients.

Treatment Options of Hemochromatosis

The treatment for hemochromatosis will depend on the severity of the condition and the patient’s overall health. However, there are several common treatments that may be used.

• Phlebotomy: This is the most common treatment for hemochromatosis. It involves removing blood from the body to reduce the amount of iron. Phlebotomy is typically performed every few weeks or months, depending on the patient’s iron levels.
• Chelation Therapy: This treatment involves using a medication to remove iron from the body. Chelation therapy is often used in patients who cannot tolerate phlebotomy or who have severe iron overload.
• Liver Transplant: In severe cases of hemochromatosis, a liver transplant may be necessary. This involves surgically replacing the damaged liver with a healthy liver from a donor.
