Siderosis

What is siderosis

Siderosis is a condition in which excess iron accumulates in the body. Depending on the cause of its occurrence, the manifestations of this disease may vary. Sometimes this may not manifest itself in any way, but can lead to serious illnesses. It is worth considering that often people simply do not pay attention to it or do not attach importance to it, thereby aggravating the situation and hiding the symptoms.

What leads to siderosis

The main cause of this disease is metabolic disorders and the absorption of iron in the human body. Siderosis appears for the following reasons: * *Vitamin B12 deficiency.* Vitamin B12 is directly involved in metabolism in the human body. But if it is not enough, then problems begin with the absorption of this substance in the general gastrointestinal tract. Then symptoms appear, which indicate the accumulation of iron in the body and siderosis occurs. * *Feeding the body with carbohydrates._ When a person overeats on sweet carbohydrate foods, he causes a fermentation process. The consequence of this process is poisoning of the body with fermentation decay products. These substances contain iron and a number of other toxic substances that have a powerful oxidative effect on the digestive system and cause the accumulation of iron in tissues. * And sometimes siderosis is a hereditary enzyme deficiency
