Clinical complications, which include liver cirrhosis, heart failure, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and diabetes, appear earlier and are more severe than in HFE-related hemochromatosis. This disorder, therefore, requires an aggressive therapeutic approach to achieve iron depletion. We report here the case of a young Italian female with juvenile hemochromatosis who was unable to tolerate frequent phlebotomy because of coexistent ss-thalassemia trait. The patient was successfully iron-depleted by combining phlebotomy with recombinant human erythropoietin.}, number={8}, journal={Haematologica}, author={M De Gobbi and P Pasquero and F Brunello and P Paccotti and U Mazza and C Camaschella}, year={2000}, month={Aug.}, pages={865-867} }
