Funded Activity Summary

My PhD studies hereditary haemochromatosis which causes iron accumulation in the body which can be treated by removing blood. Whilst those with very high iron levels require treatment, it is not clear if those with only moderately raised iron also need treatment. If this study shows there is no difference in outcomes between the groups treatment to normalise body iron versus those who do not normalise body iron, this will change current practice.
