Iron Homeostasis and Pathophysiology: From Deficiency to Disease

Iron is more than just a nutrient, it's a lifeline for our bodies. From carrying oxygen in our blood to powering the cells that keep us moving, iron plays a role in nearly every vital process. Yet, balancing iron is a delicate act: too little can leave us weak and fatigued, while too much can be harmful. Around the world, iron deficiency affects millions, contributing to anemia, cognitive challenges, metabolic problems, and heart complications. This book takes you on a journey through the science and stories of iron in the human body. The first chapter explores how diet and metabolism keep iron in balance, while the second examines what happens when that balance falters, from anemia to neurological and cardiovascular effects, connecting biology with real-world health.
