siderosis
Siderosis is a condition in which excessive iron deposits build up in the body, particularly in the tissues and organs. This overload of iron can lead to toxicity and potentially cause damage to the affected areas. It can result from numerous causes, including chronic blood transfusions, certain genetic disorders, or excessive dietary intake of iron. The condition is also known as iron overload disorder. Specific forms of the disorder may be referred to by different names, such as hemochromatosis for genetic forms of iron overload.
