Review Quotes




Garrison (cofounder, Iron Disorders Institute) and a team of medical advisors present a layperson's overview of a common but under-diagnosed genetic disorder of iron metabolism. Following an explanation of why hemochromatosis has frequently been overlooked, they discuss the symptoms of iron overload, diagnostic tests, genetic testing, treatment and diet. Updated from the 2001 edition, the guide includes patients' stories, checklists for physicians and patients, resources, a glossary, and bibliography. -- BOOK NEWS
