==Secondary hemochromatosis==
===General===
*Iron overload secondary to blood transfusions for hereditary or acquired anemia.<ref name=pmid19727383/>
**Primary hemochromatosis due to a defect in iron processing, i.e. [[hereditary hemochromatosis]].
*Imaging considered the best test, as iron deposition is patchy.<ref name=pmid19727383/>
