Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Bronze" skin color is a common sign or symptom of hemochromatosis, which is a disorder where the body absorbs too much iron from the diet. This excess iron can deposit in tissues such as the skin, leading to a bronze or brownish tinge. Other symptoms may include fatigue, joint pain, abdominal pain, and organ damage. Blocked bile ducts (A) may occur in individuals with gallstones or other liver conditions, but is not a common symptom of hemochromatosis. Iron-deficiency anemia (C) results from a lack of dietary iron and is not associated with hemochromatosis. Megaloblastic anemia (D) is caused by deficiencies in vitamin B12 or folate, not excess iron.
