Abstract

Genetic hemochromatosis is a rare disease which is generally diagnosed infrequently and too late in our country. We present two cases: young men aged 37 and 32 years old who were diagnosed in our clinic at the same time. Cirrhosis had already developed in the older patient, although genetic hemochromatosis can be treated very easily if diagnosis is established early. Our study aimed to review the literature and present these two cases as a reminder of the importance of early diagnosis.

Özet

Ülkemizde çok sık olarak rastlanmayan bu yüzden genellikle tanı koymada geç kalınan hastalıklardan biri olan genetik hemokromatozisli iki olgumuzu sunmayı ve bu konuyla ilgili literatürü de gözden geçirerek genetik hemokromatozisi hatırlatmayı amaçladık. Otuzyedi ve 32 yaşlarında iki erkek kardeşde aynı anda saptanan ancak tanı konduğunda ilk vakada siroz olması nedeniyle yine de geç kalınmış olan genetik hemokromatozis erken tanı konulması halinde tedavisi oldukça kolay olan bir hastalıktır.
