Overview

Hemochromatosis, also known as iron overload, is characterized by iron accumulation in human body. Some of the major symptoms of hemochromatosis/iron overload include weight loss, joint pain, erectile dysfunction in men, and irregular menstrual cycle in women. Hemochromatosis is mainly categorized into two types: primary hemochromatosis (genetic) and secondary hemochromatosis (caused by some other medical condition).

Hemochromatosis can lead to serious conditions such as liver damage, diabetes, arthritis, reproductive complications, and cardiovascular diseases, if the disease is not diagnosed or treated at an early stage. It is primarily diagnosed by blood test, and also thorough physical examination. To confirm the diagnosis, additional liver function test (LFT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and liver biopsy are done.

Hemochromatosis Therapeutics

Exjade by Novartis International AG, and Ferriprox by ApoPharma Inc. are the key U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved therapies available in the market for the treatment of hemochromatosis.
