Prevention of Hemochromatosis:

Screening for hemochromatosis (testing people who have no symptoms) is not a routine part of medical care or checkups. However, researchers and public health officials do have some suggestions:

• Brothers and sisters of people who have hemochromatosis should have their blood tested to see if they have the disease or are carriers.
• Parents, children, and other close relatives of people who have the disease should consider testing.
• Doctors should consider testing people who have joint disease, severe and continuing fatigue, heart disease, elevated liver enzymes, impotence, and diabetes, because these conditions may result from hemochromatosis.
