Mi-iron - Moderately Increased Iron - is Reducing Iron Overload Necessary?

Mi-iron
Start date: June 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Haemochromatosis is a preventable genetic iron overload disorder. Untreated, it can shorten life due mainly to liver cirrhosis and cancer. It can be prevented by blood donation to maintain normal iron levels. It is unclear, however, whether treatment is necessary when individuals have moderate elevation of iron in the body. This research project will study the effects of treatment in this group by assessing a number of scans, questionnaires and blood tests in treated and untreated individuals.
