We performed a randomized controlled trial in 1,000 patients with hemochromatosis to determine whether iron chelation was non-inferior to bloodletting for the treatment of hemochromatosis.

Put 'em together, and I'd be surprised if a hemochromatosis transfusion could be a problem for anyone who doesn't themselves have hemochromatosis.

The reason donations from known hemochromatosis patients have been turned away in the past was because of ethics.

One of my siblings has hereditary hemochromatosis, so their body retains far more iron than it should.

For example my father has hereditary hemochromatosis due to 2 copies of the HFE C282Y mutation.

It would take a lot of leaching to get iron poisoning, assuming you don't have hemochromatosis.

Bloodletting is a valid medical procedure for hemochromatosis which presently affects around 1 in 200 of those with European ancestry.

For what it's worth, bloodletting is still in use, though only for a couple of diseases; hemochromatosis and polycythemia being the main two.

But, having to resort to venipuncture for treatment of hemochromatosis must be tough.

For people with hemochromatosis, I have observed cognitive ability swings as they have their ferritin levels adjusted.

Hemochromatosis (iron overload disease) is a genetic disease that is common in that population.

Hemochromatosis is the largest genetic issue in the American population affecting millions.

Hemochromatosis is one that immediately comes to mind.
