I want to get answers as to how i went from hemachromatosis to iron difiency anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron overload : The iron needed to be in the red blood cells is instead deposited in tissues such as the liver and lung so there will not be enough iron in the bone marrow for the red blood cells.
