Descriptor hemosiderosis pulmonar
Entry term(s) hemosiderosis pulmonar idiopática
hemosiderosis pulmonar primaria
hemosiderosis pulmonar secundaria
Scope note: Depósito de hierro dentro del pulmón. La hemosiderosis pulmonar primaria se caracteriza por HEMOPTISIS, ANEMIA FERROPÉNICA y hemorragia pulmonar difusa que se observa como infiltrados pulmonares transitorios en la RADIOGRAFÍA. Aunque se depositan grandes cantidades de hierro en el pulmón, con una cantidad de hierro corporal total normal o aumentada, la anemia se produce debido a la incapacidad para utilizar el hierro secuestrado en los MACRÓFAGOS pulmonares.

Scope note: 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.
