iron-overload
Too much metal
Iron-overload refers to excess iron accumulation in the body, a condition that can damage organs over time.
It most often appears as a modifier: iron-overload disorder, iron-overload syndrome.
The condition may result from genetic factors (hemochromatosis) or repeated blood transfusions.
Treatment typically involves removing blood to reduce iron levels.
