Disorders of iron metabolism - what does this mean
Disorders of iron metabolism occur when the body is unable to absorb, store, or use iron properly. this can lead to anemia, due to a lack of iron, or iron overload, due to excessive iron. iron overload can damage organs and cause life-threatening complications.
What happens during the disease - disorders of iron metabolism
Disorders of iron metabolism occur when the body has an imbalance of iron intake, absorption, storage, and utilization. this can be caused by an underlying genetic condition, such as hemochromatosis, or by an acquired condition such as chronic inflammation or excessive iron supplementation. imbalance of iron can lead to anemia, organ damage, or even death if left untreated.
