Benefit of population-based screening for phenotypic hemochromatosis in young men.

Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology - 1 Oct 2002

Asberg A, Tretli S, Hveem K, Bjerve K S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a common genetic disease leading to accumulation of iron in the body, most notably in the liver. More men than women become clinically ill. The prognosis is excellent if phlebotomy treatment is started before liver cirrhosis develops. Screening has been recommended, but the benefit of population-based screening has never been shown in a randomized clinical trial. In...
