Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is when iron is stored too much inside the body. Iron is crucial for various metabolic processes within the body, including oxygen transportation, energy generation, and immune function. There are two types of iron overload: Primary overload and Secondary overload. Primary iron overload is typically hereditary, with hereditary hemochromatosis being the predominant cause. Secondary iron overload often stems from transfusions, hemolysis, or excessive consumption of iron via diet or parenteral means. Excess iron accumulates in organs throughout the body, leading to potential organ damage, particularly in the liver, heart, and endocrine glands. The maintenance of iron balance primarily relies on regulating its absorption from dietary sources. Normal plasma iron levels typically fall within the 12 to 25 μM/L range, influenced by iron absorbed from enterocytes and macrophages. Diagnosis of iron overload is generally straightforward, involving ...
