| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis''' is a condition affecting the [[lungs]] which results in bleeding from tiny [[Pulmonary alveolus|alveolar]] [[capillaries]].
| |
| | |
| Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis is an uncommon or rare condition in which bleeding in the lungs causes additional problems especially a collection of [[iron]] (FE) which, in itself causes additional lung damage. Iron is an essential component of a [[hemoglobin]] molecule. This molecule is responsible for transporting [[Oxygen]] through the blood stream and to the individual [[cell (biology)|cell]]s. Such transport is essential for celluar respiration to occur and for life to continue.

| | |
| There are many pulmonary problems that may seem to mimic hemosiderosis but do not necessarily include the deposits of iron into the lung. The deposition of iron in the lungs, occurring in the form of [[hemosiderin]], is the defining characteristic of this illness. These other conditions may occur separately or together with hemosiderosis.

| == Etiology ==
| |
| | |
| Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis can occur either as a primary lung disorder or as the sequela to other pulmonary, cardiovascular or immune system disorder.
| |
| *PH1 involves PH with circulating anti-GMB antibodies.
| |
| *PH2 involves PH with immune complex disease such as [[systemic lupus erythematosus]], SLE.
| |
| *PH3 involves no demonstrable immune system involvement.
| |
| | |
| ==Prevalence==
| |
| | |
| One study indicated an annual incidence of 0.24 case per million.<ref name="pmid6485774">{{cite journal |author=Kjellman B, Elinder G, Garwicz S, Svan H |title=Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis in Swedish children |journal=Acta Paediatr Scand |volume=73 |issue=5 |pages=584–8 |year=1984 |month=September |pmid=6485774 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| == Survival ==
| |
| | |
| Death may occur rapidly with acute, massive pulmonary bleeding or over longer periods as the result of continued pulmonary failure and left heart failure.
