Hereditary Hemochromatosis
An Algorithmic Approach to Diagnosis
Hemochromatosis - Clinical Syndrome
January 2009
The syndrome of hemochromatosis includes hepatic cirrhosis and occasionally hepatocellular carcinoma. Cardiac muscle damage results in heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, and conduction disturbances. Pancreatic damage may result in diabetes, and skeletal changes result in osteoarthritis. Skin bronzing is often seen in late stages of disease.
