Alias, I read your response on 3/27 to me about "you". Are your iron levels normal? Randy > Alias, I read your response on 3/27 to me about "you". Are your iron > levels normal? Randy I don't know. I imagine so or the doc would have said something. Being as I don't consume any iron rich foods, I doubt it. Why do you ask? Alias Alias, You said you were a veggie-eater. No meat, less iron. Some hcv patients have high iron levels. I am trying to control my iron levels. Giving up meat is one way I am tackling said problem ip-6 is another. I have had thera. phlebotomies for 5 yrs. off and on. The needles every week are wearing out my veins. Doctors say I cannot control my iron levels this way.(diet) Only blood removal or chelation.

Phlebotomy is the only way I could control my iron levels. Dwight >> Alias, You said you were a veggie-eater. No meat, less iron. Some hcv >> patients have high iron levels.

Randy > Yes Dwight, I have hemachr > omatosis.. Randy So do I, type II diabetes as well. The doctors aren't sure, but think the diabetes was caused by either the hep-c or hemochromatosis. Doesn't really matter how, I've got it and not much I can do to change it. At least the hemochromatosis is fairly easy to manage.

It causes damage to the liver and other organs and makes it more difficult to clear the virus using combo drugs. Diet does not have much to do with this condition and phlebotomy is the most practical way to control it.
