Hemochromatosis (English spelling) h(a)emochromatosis

Japanese: ヘモクロマトージス(英語表記)h(a)emochromatosis
Hemochromatosis (English spelling) h(a)emochromatosis
A disease in which large amounts of iron are deposited in various organs due to abnormalities in iron metabolism. It was named in 1889 by German pathologist Friedrich von Recklinghausen (1833-1910). It can be divided into primary (hereditary) and secondary (due to chronic anemia, cirrhosis of the liver, excessive iron intake, blood transfusions, etc.). It is more common in men than women, with a 10:1 ratio, and symptoms often first appear after the age of 45. This is the result of excessive iron absorption in the intestines, which causes the deposition of excess iron over a long period of time, and in women, the onset of the disease is prevented by the loss of iron during menstrual bleeding.

鉄代謝の異常により,種々の臓器に大量の鉄沈着を生じる病気。1889年,ドイツの病理学者レックリングハウゼンFriedrich von Recklinghausen(1833‐1910)によって名づけられた。一次性(遺伝性)のものと,二次性のもの(慢性貧血,肝硬変,過剰鉄摂取,輸血などによるもの)に分けられる。10対1で男性に多く,45歳以上で初めて症状が出ることが多い。これは,腸内での鉄の過剰吸収によって,余った鉄の沈着が長期間徐々に進行する結果であり,女性では,生理出血時の鉄喪失により発症が防がれているためである。
