Hemochromatosis: The goal of treatment for hemachromatosis is to prevent iron build up in your tissues and organs. Initial treatment, usually by blood donation, will be to try to get rid of the already increased iron stores in your system. Once that is depleted, then future treatment will be to try to prevent recurrent future build up. It is important to continue this for your entire lifetime. Good luck.
