Is haemosiderin always haemoglobin derived?

Hello everyone,

Haemosiderin definition says that it is a pigment that occurs when there is a local or systemic excess of iron. Does that mean excess iron deposition can cause haemosiderin pigment, I mean you don't alway need macrophages to eat Hb and make it, just iron is enough. Thanks

Just to clarify are you asking if excess iron is the cause of haemosiderin synthesis? I don't find your post clear to understand.
