Summary Introduction

Humans possess iron in the bound form along with protein as hemoglobin, myoglobin, or as heme-enzymes. Iron is essential for various functions and a balance is usually maintained between iron absorption, transportation and utilization. Despite all defined mechanisms of iron homeostasis, a decrease in iron content leads to sideropenia. The major cause of sideropenia is an inadequate iron uptake. It is a pathological condition with symptoms like dysphagia, tongue burn, nail dystrophy with low iron levels in serum without anemia and can be treated with iron medication.
