Clinical Significance
Iron is an essential element, serving as an enzyme cofactor and facilitating oxygen transport. Iron is cleared primarily by biliary excretion via the feces and secondarily by renal clearance, which is a relatively minor route of clearance. Excessive accumulation of iron in iron-overload diseases leads to higher than normal urine concentration of iron, known as hemosiderinuria.
