Hereditary Haemochromatosis (HFE): Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

By Sam
Hereditary Haemochromatosis (HFE): Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Complete article to Iron Overload Disorder | Symptoms, Genetics, Testing, and Management Hereditary Haemochromatosis (HFE) is one of the most common genetic disorders affecting iron metabolism in the human body. Despite its prevalence, it remains widely underdiagnosed due to its slow progression and non-specific early symptoms. This condition leads to excessive absorption and accumulation of iron in vital organs such as the liver, heart, pancreas, joints, and skin. Over time, this excess iron can cause serious and potentially life-threatening complications. In this comprehensive article, we will explore what Hereditary Haemochromatosis is, how it develops, its genetic basis, symptoms, diagnostic methods, treatment options, lifestyle modifications, and long-term outlook. This article is designed to be informative, easy to understand, and valuable for patients, caregivers, medical students, and hea...

 DEFINATION Human Anatomy: It is the branch of science that studies the physical structure of human body. • Physiology: It is the branch of biology that deals with the internal working of living things, including functions such as metabolism, respiration and reproduction. STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION All multicellular organisms are organized at different levels, starting with the cell and ending with the entire organism. LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION • There are six levels of organization (from smallest to largest) 1. The chemical level 2. The cellular level 3. The tissue level 4. The organ level 5. The organ system level 6. The organism level SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY • There are 11 systems of the human body 1. Integumentary system (hairs, nails, sweat glands, oil glands) 2. Skeletal system 3. Muscular system 4. Endocrine system 5. Cardiovascular system 6. Lymphatic system 7. Respiratory system 8. Digestive system 9. Nervous system 10. Urinary system 11. Reproductive system BAS...

WHAT IS THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM? BMLT The gastrointestinal tract (digestive  tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut,or alimentary canal) is an organ system within  humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it and absorb energy and nutrients, and  expels the remaining waste as feces. The major organs of the digestive system: Mouth. Pharynx. Esophagus. Stomach. Small Intestine. Large Intestine. Rectum Accessory digestive organs: liver gallbladder pancreas. Salivary gland Functions of GI tract Ingestion : taking of food into the alimentary tract. i.e. eating & drinking. Propulsion :mixes & moves the contents along the alimentary tract. Digestion :consist of: Mechanical breakdown of food e.g. mastication (chewing) Chemical digestion of food into small molecules by enzymes. Absorption: this is the process by which digested food substances pass through the walls of some organs of the walls of some organs of the alimentary canal into the blood for...
