Abstract

Background: Various factors like physiological and emotional stress, drugs and nutritional deficiencies can result in hair loss. Results of laboratory tests examining the underlying aetiology of hair loss vary in patients. Materials and methods: Fifty-four patients with hair loss (47 females, 7 males) and 55 healthy individuals within the control group (47 females, 8 males) were included in this study. Serum levels of ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, zinc, thyroid stimulating hormone and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were evaluated in all participants retrospectively. Result: A total of 70 patients were studied which included 45 males and 25 females. Out of these mild AA was seen in 15 males and 10 females, moderate AA was found in 30 males and 15 females. We did not get any cases of alopecia totalis (AT), alopecia universalis (AU) or ophiasis. Conclusion: Women with hair loss can benefit from higher ferritin levels
