    Iron overload (also known as haemochromatosis or hemochromatosis) is the abnormal and increased accumulation of total iron in the body, leading to organ damage. [1] The primary mechanism of organ damage is oxidative stress, as elevated intracellular iron levels increase free radical formation via the Fenton reaction.

    Intestinal iron absorption and release of iron from macrophages is increased. [3] Thus, this form of the disease leads to elevated transferrin saturation levels. [9] Systemic iron overload results, and liver iron deposition is primarily in the hepatocytes. [13]

  8. Methemoglobinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methemoglobinemia

    Elevated levels of methemoglobin in the blood are caused when the mechanisms that defend against oxidative stress within the red blood cell are overwhelmed and the oxygen carrying ferrous ion (Fe 2+) of the heme group of the hemoglobin molecule is oxidized to the ferric state (Fe 3+). This converts hemoglobin to methemoglobin, resulting in a ...
