Classification

• IPH may be grouped into three categories based on disease characteristic:

• Group 1 pulmonary hemosiderosis involves PH with circulating anti-GMB antibodies.
• Group 2 pulmonary hemosiderosis involves PH with an immune complex disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE.
• Group 3 pulmonary hemosiderosis involves no demonstrable immune system involvement.
