TLDR No link found between blood groups, Rhesus factor, and ferritin levels in women with hair loss.
The study aimed to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups, serum ferritin levels, and telogen effluvium (TE) in women. It included 103 females with TE and 125 healthy controls. The results showed no significant association between ferritin levels and blood groups in TE patients. The conclusion emphasized that while ferritin levels and other laboratory tests are important in understanding TE etiology, there was no link found between ABO blood groups, Rhesus factor, and ferritin levels in TE. This study was the first to explore this relationship and could be a basis for future research with larger sample sizes.
