Urinary Siderosis
نویسنده
چکیده
In diseases which bring about a siderosis of the kidney there are ordinarily present in the urinary sediment cells containing granules of hemosiderin, and often many free granules as well. The finding has proved useful in the diagnosis of hemochromatosis and will probably be of service in the recognition of pernicious anemia, and possibly some other diseases. But in this relation the fact should be emphasized that urinary siderosis, as one may term it, is the indication of a renal condition, not of a disease.

متن کاملA patient with superficial siderosis, intraspinal cyst, low-pressure headache and low-lying cord.
Superficial siderosis is a rare condition caused by deposition of hemosiderin in the central nervous system. In recent years, it has been used to identify dural defects connecting the intrathecal space with the intraspinal fluid-filled collection seen in patients with superficial siderosis. However rare reports describe the association of low-lying cord in superficial siderosis patients. We pre...
متن کاملEffects of iron overload on ascorbic acid metabolism.
Studies of the ascorbic acid status in two subjects with idiopathic haemochromatosis and in 12 with transfusional siderosis showed that all had decreased levels of white cell ascorbic acid. The urinary excretion of ascorbic acid was also diminished in those subjects in whom such measurements were made. The administration of ascorbic acid was followed by only a small rise in the urinary ascorbic...

The traditional role of iron chelation therapy has been to reduce body iron burden via chelation of excess metal from organs and fluids and its excretion via biliary-fecal and/or urinary routes. In their present use for hemosiderosis, chelation regimens might not be suitable for treating disorders of iron maldistribution, as those are characterized by toxic islands of siderosis appearing in a b...
متن کاملSiderosis, haemolysis or hepatonecrosis in increasing post-desferrioxamine sideruria in acute viral hepatitis?
Post-desferrioxamine (DF) sideruria is accepted as a significant diagnostic test in dis-siderotic states: the highly marked iron excretion, observed in primary haemochromatosis, bears witness to this as does the quite low sideruria seen in irondeficient conditions. Likewise, in acute viral hepatitis, an elevated urinary iron elimination following DF administration has been reported for more tha...
