Overview
History and Symptoms
Symptoms usually begin in age of 30 years. The involvement of specific organ produces subsequent symptoms.
- Early indications of hemochromatosis are often like those of other diseases and include the following symptoms:
- Fatigue (feeling very tired)
- Weakness
- Weight loss
- Abdominal pain
- Joint pain
- As iron builds up in the body organs, hemochromatosis may also produce the following symptoms:
- Loss of menstrual periods or early menopause
- Loss of sex drive (libido) or impotence
- Loss of body hair
- Shortness of breath
- Infections
- As the disease progresses, hemochromatosis may cause the following more serious problems:
- Arthritis
- Abdominal pain that does not go away
- Severe fatigue (feeling extremely tired and having a lack of energy)
- Heart failure symptoms
- Gray-colored or bronze-colored skin
- Deafness[4]
- A darkish color to the skin (see pigmentation, hence its name Diabete bronze when it was first described by Armand Trousseau in 1865)
