Hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC), or iron overload, is an inherited disorder that causes the body to absorb two to three times the normal amount of iron.ver the years, the excess iron builds up in the vital organs, joints and tissues where it can cause a number of debilitating and potentially fatal conditions such as liver and heart disease, diabetes, impotence and arthritis.
If untreated, damage to the liver, heart, and pancreas may eventually lead to death. Hemochromatosis is hereditary. In order to have the disease, a patient must have inherited two defective genes, one from each parent. Siblings of an affected individual have a 25 percent chance of getting this disease. Children are less likely to be affected since the other parent must be a carrier of a hemochromatosis gene.
