What Pathological Conditions are Associated with Hemosiderin?
Several pathological conditions are associated with hemosiderin deposition. These include:
Hemochromatosis: A genetic disorder causing excessive iron absorption and deposition in various organs. Hemosiderosis: A condition characterized by excessive hemosiderin deposition without the genetic mutations seen in hemochromatosis. Chronic Venous Insufficiency: Hemosiderin deposition in the skin due to chronic blood leakage from veins. Pulmonary Hemosiderosis: Accumulation of hemosiderin in the lungs, often seen in conditions like Goodpasture syndrome.
