Difference between Iron and Iron overload

Iron vs. Iron overload

Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from ferrum) and atomic number 26. Iron overload (variously known as haemochromatosis, hemochromatosis, hemochromocytosis, Celtic curse, Irish illness, British gene, Scottish sickness and bronzing diabetes) indicates accumulation of iron in the body from any cause.

Similarities between Iron and Iron overload

Iron and Iron overload have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anemia, Celts, Chelation, Deferoxamine, Ferritin, Heart, Human iron metabolism, Iron deficiency, Liver, Menopause, Red blood cell, Transferrin.

Anemia

Anemia is a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin in the blood, or a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen.

Celts

The Celts (see pronunciation of ''Celt'' for different usages) were an Indo-European people in Iron Age and Medieval Europe who spoke Celtic languages and had cultural similarities, although the relationship between ethnic, linguistic and cultural factors in the Celtic world remains uncertain and controversial.

Deferoxamine

Deferoxamine (DFOA), sold under the brand name Desferal, is a medication that binds iron and aluminium.

Ferritin

Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion.

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

Human iron metabolism

Human iron metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that maintain human homeostasis of iron at the systemic and cellular level.

Iron deficiency

Iron deficiency, or sideropaenia, is the state in which a body has not enough (or not qualitatively enough) iron to supply its eventual needs.

Liver

The liver, an organ only found in vertebrates, detoxifies various metabolites, synthesizes proteins, and produces biochemicals necessary for digestion.

Menopause

Menopause, also known as the climacteric, is the time in most women's lives when menstrual periods stop permanently, and they are no longer able to bear children.

Red blood cell

Red blood cells-- also known as RBCs, red cells, red blood corpuscles, haematids, erythroid cells or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow vessel", with -cyte translated as "cell" in modern usage), are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system.

Iron and Iron overload Comparison

Iron has 559 relations, while Iron overload has 81. As they have in common 12, the Jaccard index is 1.88% = 12 / (559 + 81).
