On this episode, we review aeromedical certification requirements for a relatively uncommon disease called hemochromatosis --  a condition that involves elevated iron levels in the blood that can result in liver failure and may affect multiple other organs. Screened and taken care of early, it is completely controllable but left unchecked, can result in significant problems.  We review the treatment and what is required of pilots with this condition.
