Abstract: | Arthritis may be the presenting manifestation of iron overload. The metacarpophalangeal joints are often involved, producing a condition that resembles osteoarthritis but at a site typically affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment of the arthritis is often disappointing, but identification of the underlying disease permits institution of life-saving phlebotomy therapy. |
