A 65-year-old woman died of congestive heart failure and diabetes mellitus. She had a history of mild anemia since adolescence, but received neither iron supplementation nor transfusion. The cirrhotic liver obtained at autopsy contained a large amount of iron. The heart and pancreas also had excess iron. Her iron overload may be due to excess iron absorption in the gut because of the absence of an iatrogenic background such as transfusion or iron supplementation.
一名65岁女性死于充血性心力衰竭和糖尿病。她自青少年时期就有轻度贫血病史，但未接受过铁剂补充或输血治疗。尸检获得的肝硬化肝脏含有大量铁。心脏和胰腺也有铁过量的情况。由于不存在输血或铁剂补充等医源性背景，她的铁过载可能是由于肠道铁吸收过多所致。
