Is phlebotomy a recommended or affective treatment for hemochromatosis after symptoms have been allayed ?

Question

I was suffering goutlike symptoms and tested positive for hemochromatosis and phlebotomy was recommended .
After losing 85lbs my symptoms left but I'm wondering if the threat of organ deterioration is still a problem .

Answer 1

You will always need to be monitored by a Dr. If the iron levels go up again you can have organ damage.
