Details
Human iron metabolism is the set of chemical reactions maintaining human homeostasis of iron. Iron is an essential element for most life on Earth, including human beings. The control of this necessary but potentially toxic substance is an important part of many aspects of human health and disease. Hematologists have been especially interested in the system of iron metabolism because iron is essential to red blood cells. Most of the human body's iron is contained in red blood cells' hemoglobin, and iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia. Understanding this system is also important for understanding diseases of iron overload, like hemochromatosis. Recent discoveries in the field have shed new light on how humans control the level of iron in their bodies and created new understanding of the mechanisms of several diseases.
