Hemosiderosis is a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of iron in the body's tissues. This buildup occurs when the body absorbs too much iron from food or through repeated blood transfusions. Unlike hemochromatosis, which is a genetic disorder, hemosiderosis can result from various factors, including chronic hemolytic anemia or liver disease. The excess iron is stored in the form of hemosiderin, a brownish pigment, which can lead to damage in organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas. Symptoms may include fatigue, joint pain, and abdominal discomfort. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.
