Hereditary Hemochromatosis - Genetics Home Reference
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. The excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. For this reason, hereditary hemochromatosis is also called an iron overload disorder.

Facts: Hemochromatosis (Iron Storage Disease) - CDC
Hemochromatosis (called iron storage disease) occurs when the body absorbs too much iron from foods and other sources such as vitamins containing iron. This disease causes extra iron to gradually build up in the body's tissues and organs, a term called iron overload. If this iron buildup is not treated, it can, over many years, damage the body's organs.
