What symptoms can hemochromatosis cause?

Patient's question:

A colleague of mine was diagnosed with leukemia a few days ago. To be honest, I was shocked when I first heard the news. No wonder she has been looking pale lately and often shows signs of exhaustion all over her body. So, I'm very curious about what new symptoms leukemia might bring out?

Doctor's answer:

It is more likely to occur in patients with 500-color disease and those with a family history of diabetes. Early mild injury patients may not exhibit typical symptoms, while patients with moderate to severe pancreatic injury in the middle and late stages may have typical symptoms. Late complications are similar to those caused by diabetes from other reasons. Patients who do not receive timely treatment may develop acute catabolic metabolic disorders, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, nonketotic hyperosmolar diabetic coma, and others. In the past, the destruction of pancreatic beta cells was believed to be the main cause of diabetes, but in recent years, it has been discovered that the blood insulin levels of many patients do not rise significantly.
