List and explain how Haemochromatosis effects our health

Health
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Untreated, hereditary hemochromatosis can lead to a number of complications, especially in your joints and in organs where excess iron tends to be stored — your liver, pancreas and heart. Complications can include:

Liver problems. Cirrhosis — permanent scarring of the liver — is just one of the problems that may occur. Cirrhosis increases your risk of liver cancer and other life-threatening complications.

Pancreas problems. Damage to the pancreas can lead to diabetes.

Heart problems. Excess iron in your heart affects the heart's ability to circulate enough blood for your body's needs. This is called congestive heart failure. Hemochromatosis can also cause abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

Reproductive problems. Excess iron can lead to erectile dysfunction (impotence), and loss of sex drive in men and absence of the menstrual cycle in women.

Skin color changes. Deposits of iron in skin cells can make your skin appear bronze or gray in color.

Reggie is 72 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. Use the formula below to answer the question about his weight.
AlekseyPX
Reggie would, sadly, be underweight because he's so tall.

However, this may not be totally accurate, because BMI does not factor in genetics, exercise, muscle mass, etc.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one!
