A survey of phlebotomy among persons with hemochromatosis

BACKGROUND: One in 10 whites in the United States is a carrier for hemochromatosis and an estimated 1 in 200 is clinically affected. Early treatment with therapeutic phlebotomy to remove excess iron can prevent associated chronic diseases. However, little information is available on the amount of blood withdrawn or the rates of withdrawal from hemochromatosis patients. The patterns of therapeutic phlebotomy and the magnitude of charges in persons with hemochromatosis were surveyed.
