Iron deposition occurs in parenchymal cells of the liver in two major defects in human subjects (i) in primary iron overload (genetic haemochromatosis) and (ii) secondary to anaemias in which erythropolesis is increased (thalassaemia). Transfusional iron overload results in excessive storage primari
