Treatment for<unk>  is similar to that for other forms of hemochromatosis and iron overload, and focuses on reducing the amount of iron in the body in order to prevent complications of iron overload. However, if the disease is not discovered early enough, or if progress is not well controlled, further treatments may be aimed at the symptoms of organ damage which may develop. Phlebotomy Phlebotomy, the removal of blood from the body, is the main treatment for<unk> . One unit of blood, the amount typically given during blood donation, is typically removed per session, and it is generally recommended that this be done once weekly until acceptable levels of iron are in the blood, which may take years. After these levels are reached, phlebotomy will be continued, but less often than once weekly, perhaps every few months. Chelation Therapy In the event that phlebotomy is not an appropriate option or is not enough on its own to reduce iron levels, chelation medications, those that bind and remove certain metals from the blood, may be utilized. Examples of chelators specifically for iron include deferoxamine and deferasirox. Dietary Modification It is recommended that those with<unk>  refrain from eating iron supplements, vitamin C supplements, and uncooked/undercooked seafood and shellfish, and reduce or eliminate consumption of alcoholic beverages and red meat. Additional Treatments If the disease is advanced enough, further treatments can be aimed at the complications of the disease, depending on which are present: * Diabetes may be treated with oral medications and/or insulin as indicated. * Heart failure may require followup with cardiology specialist, as well as medical treatment with certain medications including ACE inhibitors and diuretics. * Hypogonadism may require treatment with hormone replacement therapy, which has also been shown to reduce the likelihood of developing osteoporosis later on. * Liver cirrhosis may require beta blockers, a kind of antihypertensive medication. * Joint pain, called arthralgias, can be treated with NSAIDs, a type of pain medication available over-the-counter.
