The article focuses on the haemochromatosis following prolonged oral iron ingestion. Iron overload is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The increased total body iron results from iron absorption inappropriate to the level of body iron stores. The excessive iron is deposited in the parenchymal cells and results in functional insufficiency of the organs involved at the liver, pancreas, heart and pituitary. |
