Iron metabolism and its role in traumatic disease

Abstract The article reviews recent studies of iron exchange and its role in a traumatic disease and traumatic shock. The review stresses a relationship of iron metabolism disturbance with free radical oxidation, lipid peroxidation and multiple organ dysfunctions. The article deals with data of unbound iron collect mechanisms, ways of endotoxemia activation, haemostasis and haemodynamics disturbance proving the role of iron in a multiple organ dysfunctions during traumatic disease.
