Brief Summary: Hereditary Hemochromatosis HH is a genetic disorder of iron metabolism resulting in excessive iron overload causing damage of different important organs like heart liver pancreas and joints Complications and symptoms can regress by intensive treatment reducing the iron overload storesDifferent genes have been identified playing a role in the pathophysiology of iron overload A clinically important HFE gene mutation is the C282Y located on chromosome 6 Phlebotomy is currently the standard therapy which consists of removal of 500 ml whole blood weekly representing a loss of 250 mg iron In naive patients between 20 to 100 phlebotomies are required to reduce the serum ferritine levels to 50 μgL Thereafter a lifelong maintenance therapy of 3 to 6 phlebotomies yearly is needed

For absorption dietary iron 70 is reduced by gastric acid form the ferric Fe3 to the ferrous form Fe2 Recently in an observational open study Hutchinson et al found that HH patients treated with proton pump inhibitors PPI needed fewer phlebotomies resulting in a drop of 25 SEM 025 to 05 SEM 025 liter per year

Research question The primary objective is to determine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of PPIs compared to standard phlebotomy therapy in the prevention of iron overload in HH patients

Multi-center trial in two hospitals in the South of Limburg Atrium medical Center Maastricht university medical center and hospital in Belgium University Hospital Gasthuisberg The study will be conducted in randomised double blind manner The follow up will be one year

Patients are randomized either for the group receiving a PPI or a placebo Every 2 month the ferritin level is measured and decided if the patient need a phlebotomy Ferritin 100 µgL
