Iron Overload Management

Iron overload management refers to the process of controlling excess iron in the body, which can lead to serious health issues. This condition often arises from genetic disorders, excessive iron intake, or repeated blood transfusions. Managing iron overload typically involves regular monitoring of iron levels through blood tests and treatments like phlebotomy (removing blood) or iron chelation therapy (using medications to bind and eliminate excess iron). The goal is to prevent damage to vital organs, such as the liver and heart, thereby ensuring overall health and well-being. Lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments, may also be recommended.
