The following are treatments for iron toxicity: 1  Removal of the patients blood, one unit at a time. This is the cheapest, safest, and most efficient way to reduce siderosis. 2  Dietary restriction.
Iron toxicity means there is too much iron in the body. However, this is not as simple as it may appear. For example, I find that excess iron is in a biounavailable form, such as an oxide. In other words, there is not too much available iron. Instead, toxic forms of iron build up in the body. The condition is acquired, meaning it is rare at birth.
