Haemochromatosis is a disease that develops slowly and may not show clear warning signs for a long time. The problem arises when excessive accumulation of iron occurs in the human body and its levels in the blood begin to exceed physiological norms. An excess, much like a deficiency of iron, has a negative impact on the organs, leading to their damage and the development of serious diseases.
