Haemochromatosis (iron overload disorder) causes the body to absorb more iron than usual from food. Haemochromatosis is one of the most common hereditary diseases. Excessive iron can cause damage to organs such as the liver, heart and pancreas. Possible early symptoms include weakness and lethargy, weight loss, joint pain in the fingers, liver complaints, impotence and low sex drive, irregular menstrual periods or early menopause, loss of body hair and skin darkening.
