Pinyin/HFE hereditary hemochromatosis

HFE hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disease. Sufferers over absorb iron, causing the total iron concentration inside the body to reach pathological level. Humans and animals have no way to excrete excess iron. Excess iron will accumulate inside tissues and organs, affecting their normal functions. The easiest affected organs are: liver, adrenal gland, heart and pancreas. Sufferers might suffer from cirrhosis, adrenal gland malfunction, heart failure, diabetes, or arthritis. This kind of illness is most common in northern European ancestry, particularly in Irish people.
