Are there certain conditions that only hemochromatosis victims suffer?
The bronzing pigmentation associated with the later stage of hemochromatosis is the only unique sign of the disorder but not every affected individual develops this complication. Unfortunately, there is no sign or symptom or constellation of signs and symptoms specific for hemochromatosis. Because hemochromatosis symptoms mimic a variety of other diseases, the diagnosis of hemochromatosis can be missed unless specific tests (serum iron measures) are conducted.
