Hemochromatosis. It's more than skin-deep.
Hemochromatosis is a multisystem disease caused by deposition of iron in tissues and organs. If the disease is discovered early, treatment with phlebotomy increases patient survival time. Because hemochromatosis may be inherited, family members of patients should be examined.
