The inspiration for this volume was the outstanding book Iron Metabolism in Man by Thomas Bothwell and his colleagues. Although it was published more than three decades ago in 1979, it remains a valuable reference today. The basic outline of Iron Physiology and Pathophysiology in Humans is not dissimilar to the work of Bothwell et al. It begins with a focus on normal iron metabolism in humans, then progresses to mechanisms of altered iron metabolism in disease.
