Untreated iron overload can eventually lead to organ damage. Treatment is necessary if iron stores continue to increase but doctors' opinions differ on exactly when to start treatment.

You can read the Marrowforums Iron Overload page for a brief introduction to iron overload and follow the links at the bottom of the page to find more information.
