Haemochromatosis Scholarly Peer-review Journal

Hemochromatosis is a genetic (hereditary) disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. The excess iron is then stored in various organs, mainly the liver. Hemochromatosis is an inherited condition caused by a defective gene called HFE, which allows a person to absorb too much iron from food. Normally, the body only absorbs what it needs. Excess iron can also be stored in the pancreas, heart, testes / ovaries, skin and joints. The main treatment is regular elimination of blood, which helps remove excess iron from the body. If treatment is started early enough and before complications arise, the outlook for people with hemochromatosis is very good. The diagnosis includes a blood test, a liver biopsy and a heart test. The treatment is for life. This involves getting blood out of the body, just like being a blood donor. Peer review refers to the work carried out during the pre-selection of submitted manuscripts and funding requests. This process encourages authors to adhere to accepted standards of their discipline and reduces the dissemination of irrelevant results, unjustified claims, unacceptable interpretations and personal opinions. Publications that have not been peer reviewed are likely to be viewed with suspicion by academics and professionals.
