Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing weakness and fatigue again, joint pain, sometimes feeling drowsy, stomach pain, and very poor skin condition. Everyone says my friend's complexion is very poor, resembling someone who has been seriously ill. My friend doesn't even know what's wrong with them. It's said that it might be a symptom of anemia. I want to know what symptoms anemia has.Hello, does anemia have a seasonal pattern?
Doctor's answer:
Hemochromatosis (HC), also known as hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC, HH), is a common chronic iron overload disease that is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder. Due to the increased discomfort of intestinal iron absorption, excessive iron is stored in cells such as the liver, heart, and pancreas, leading to degenerative changes and diffuse fibrosis, catabolism, and functional disorders of tissues and organs. The main clinical diagnostic features are skin hyperpigmentation, cirrhosis, and secondary diabetes.
