摘要
Inherited forms of iron overload are common. HLA-linked hemochromatosis and possibly African iron overload are associated with a significant risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma. Early diagnosis and treatment, before substantial iron overloading occurs, reduces morbidity and mortality. HLA-linked hemochromatosis is easily diagnosed, and routine screening in European-derived populations may be appropriate.
