title: [Trace elements of iatrogenic origin].
abstract: Iatrogenic microelementoses are diseases and pathological processes caused by the deficiency or excess of trace elements in the body due to medical treatment performed for preventive, diagnostic and therapeutical purposes. It is suggested to differentiate iatrogenic hypomicroelementoses developing due to the deficiency of essential trace elements from those resulting from the excessive intake and accumulation in the organs and tissue of both essential and toxic trace elements. Examples of both groups of iatrogenic microelementoses are presented.
