Iron overload is usually caused by an inherited condition called hemochromatosis. Excess iron can poison organs, which can lead to conditions such as cancer, irregular heartbeat, and cirrhosis of the liver.
Symptoms are related to conditions that arise from iron overload such as diabetes, darkening of the skin, abnormal heart rhythm, or arthritis.
Iron can be dropped to safe levels by regularly removing blood from the body.
