The most commonly used #treatment for #hemochromatosis is a medical blood draw, known as #phlebotomy or #venesection. This treatment is effective because phlebotomies remove red blood cells that contain iron. sustained organ damage. #toomuchiron #getinformed #gettested

What Is #Hemochromatosis Iron Screening? Hemochromatosis is detected by checking an iron panel, a simple and easy blood test your doctor can order if you ask. A #ironpaneltest can tell you if your iron levels are too high or too low, and if a person is likely to have #HH.

July is Hemochromatosis Awareness month in the US. Spread the word to your US based families & friends.
Despite being one of America’s most common #geneticdisorders, hereditary hemochromatosis is relatively unknown and not routinely tested for. When detected early, #hemochromatosis is a very manageable condition. #Awareness #ironpaneltest #toomuchiron

Who is at risk most for #Hemochromatosis? Hemochromatosis is more common in Caucasians of #NorthernEuropean descent. Even though #women are just as likely to have #C282Y mutations, males are more likely to develop #ironoverload & the symptoms/complications of hemochromatosis.

Blood from #therapeuticdonors #hemochromatosis which meets the usual safety criteria for #blooddonations helps others in need of #bloodtransfusions. People with #hemochromatosis love knowing their blood saves lives @lifebloodau @CanadasLifeline @Giveblood_ie @nzblood #Giveblood
World Hemochromatosis Week Juan Bedmar: "One of the main challenges is to ensure that blood from patients with hemochromatosis is used as a donation to save the lives of others" Juan Bedmar is also a member of the ADOSAM Board.
