Overview
Physical Examination
- Erectile dysfunction and hypogonadism
- Congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or pericarditis
- Deafness[1]
- Dyskinesias, including Parkinsonian symptoms[2][1][3]
- Dysfunction of certain endocrine organs:
- Pancreatic gland, as above, manifesting as diabetes
- Adrenal gland (leading to adrenal insufficiency)
- Parathyroid gland (leading to hypocalcaemia)
- Pituitary gland
- Testes or ovary (leading to hypogonadism)
- A darkish color to the skin (see pigmentation, hence its name Diabete bronze )
Males are usually diagnosed after their forties, and women about a decade later, owing to regular iron loss by menstruation (which ceases in menopause). Cases of iron overload have been found in young children as well.
