Preferred Label : Hemosiderosis, Pulmonary;
MeSH definition : Iron deposition within the lung. Primary pulmonary hemosiderosis is characterized
by HEMOPTYSIS; IRON-DEFICIENCY ANEMIA, and diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage as seen as
transient pulmonary infiltrates on RADIOGRAPHY. Even though large amounts of iron
are laid down in the lung, with normal or increased total body iron, anemia occurs
because of inability of the erythron to use iron sequestered in pulmonary MACROPHAGES.;

MeSH hyponym : Hemosiderosis, Primary Pulmonary; Pulmonary Hemosiderosis, Primary; Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis; Hemosiderosis, Idiopathic Pulmonary; Pulmonary Hemosiderosis, Idiopathic; Hemosiderosis, Secondary Pulmonary; Pulmonary Hemosiderosis, Secondary;
