Diagnosis was based upon clinical examination as well as trichogram and dermoscopy. Serum ferritin and vitamin D<sub>2<\/sub> levels were determined for each participant. <b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b> Serum ferritin levels in the TE (14.7 \u00b1 22.1 \u03bcg\/l) and FPHL (23.9 \u00b1 38.5 \u03bcg\/l) candidates were significantly lower than in controls (43.5 \u00b1 20.4 \u03bcg\/l). Serum vitamin D<sub>2<\/sub> levels in females with TE (28.8 \u00b1 10.5 nmol\/l) and FPHL (29.1 \u00b1 8.5 nmol\/l) were significantly lower than in controls (118.2 \u00b1 68.1 nmol\/l; p < 0.001). These levels decreased with increased disease severity. Serum ferritin cut-off values for TE and FPHL were 27.5 and 29.4 \u03bcg\/l, respectively, and those for vitamin D were 40.9 and 67.9 nmol\/l. <b><i>Conclusion:<\/i><\/b> Low serum ferritin and vitamin D<sub>2<\/sub> are associated with hair loss in females with TE and FPHL. Screening to establish these levels in cases of hair loss and supplementing with them when they are deficient may be beneficial in the treatment of disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000346698","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,20]],"date-time":"2013-02-20T09:37:10Z","timestamp":1361353030000},"page":"101-107","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Serum Ferritin and Vitamin D in Female Hair Loss: Do They Play a Role?"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"H.","family":"Rasheed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Mahgoub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Hegazy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"El-Komy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Abdel Hay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.A.","family":"Hamid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Hamdy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103%2F0378-6323.45215"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000118505"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.jaad.2009.12.006"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.jaad.2005.11.1104"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-2265.1992.tb01470.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1523-1747.2003.12540.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1523-1747.2003.12581.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2133.2002.04997.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1440-1754.2004.00432.x"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000321521"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210%2Fer.2008-0004"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs11095-006-9105-3"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0001-7310%2809%2973176-X"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F14767058.2011.632036"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590%2FS0036-36342012000200009"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3945%2Fajcn.2009.28089"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126%2Fscience.283.5402.676"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038%2F88889"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0968-0004%2892%2990249-9"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006%2Fgeno.2000.6429"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.abb.2011.10.002"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210%2Fen.139.10.4391"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fjcp.22227"}],"container-title":["Skin Pharmacology and Physiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/346698","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/346698","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:49:06Z","timestamp":1745434146000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000346698"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":23,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,12]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000346698","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1660-5527","1660-5535"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1660-5527","type":"print"},{"value":"1660-5535","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
