Hemochromatosis is a condition where there is excessive accumulation of iron in various organs of the body leading to damage and dysfunction of these organs over time. This can cause liver disease, heart problems, diabetes mellitus, and joint problems. The condition can be genetic, or it can occur due to repeated blood transfusions. It is treated by phlebotomy (removing blood from the body) to reduce the iron load. The other options listed do not involve excessive iron deposition throughout the body.
