Hi,
Treatments for hemochromatosis include therapeutic phlebotomy (fleh-BOT-o-me), iron chelation (ke-LAY-shun) therapy, dietary changes, and treatment for complications. The goals of treating hemochromatosis include reducing the amount of iron in your body to normal levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
