Victor Charles Hanot

Hanot was considered to be a major influence in the career of Augustin Nicolas Gilbert (1858–1927).

Hanot specialized in the study of liver diseases, making contributions in his research of cirrhosis and hemochromatosis.

Among his written works was a study on hypertrophic cirrhosis titled Etude sur une forme de cirrhose hypertrophique du foie (cirrhose hypertrophique avec ictère chronique), (1875).

[2] He is associated with the eponymous "Troisier-Hanot-Chauffard syndrome", characterized as hypertrophic cirrhosis with skin pigmentation and diabetes mellitus.

The syndrome has several other names, such as "primary hemochromatosis", "bronze diabetes", "pigmentary cirrhosis" and "iron overload disease".
