Female Pattern Hair Loss: Clinical and Laboratory Findings and Trichoscopy Depending on Disease Severity

This study investigated the clinical and laboratory findings of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) in Chinese patients. Trichoscopy was used to observe the hair loss patterns and severity, and no association was found between the severity of FPHL and changes in laboratory results. The study found that genetic predisposition increases susceptibility to developing FPHL at an earlier age, and the severity of hair loss is only influenced by the duration of the condition. The study also investigated the association between low ferritin levels and hair loss, but no significant difference was found. Overall, the study provides insights into the clinical and laboratory findings of FPHL in Chinese patients.
