Retrospective Review of 2851 Female Patients With Telogen Effluvium: A Single-Center Experience

This study reviewed existing literature to demonstrate that thyroid disorders have a significant and underestimated impact on hair loss, highlighting gaps in current knowledge and the need for further research to better diagnose and manage hair disorders linked to thyroid dysfunction.

This study retrospectively analyzed 3028 patients with telogen effluvium, finding that 6.2% had iron deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency was common, especially in women who were more often prescribed vitamin D therapy.

This review discusses the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of telogen effluvium and reports no new clinical findings; the authors underscore the importance of identifying and eliminating causative factors.

The conclusion cannot be provided because the document content is not available.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamins and minerals in managing non-scarring alopecia but reports no clinical results; the authors advocate for further controlled trials to explore these relationships.

This study reports that nonscarring diffuse hair loss in women is most common in the 21-40 age group, with low serum ferritin, vitamin B12, and vitamin D3 levels contributing to its pathogenesis.

This study found that vitamin D, ferritin, and zinc deficiencies are prevalent among patients with telogen effluvium in the greater Pittsburgh area, suggesting these should be included in initial evaluations.

This study observed that telogen effluvium was the most common form of acquired alopecia among females in a semiurban Indian population, with stress and chemical exposure as major exacerbating factors.

This review examines the debated link between iron deficiency and nonscarring scalp alopecia in women, offering no new clinical results but emphasizing the need for further research and well-designed trials.

This study suggests that chronic telogen effluvium may be due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration, resulting in recurrent hair shedding with minimal long-term hair volume loss.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause skin darkening and white hair, but it's reversible.

This article discusses the controversy over serum ferritin levels in diagnosing iron deficiency in women with hair loss but reports no new findings, emphasizing the need for consistent reference ranges.

This review discusses a clinical approach to diagnosing alopecia through patient history and clinical findings, but it reports no new clinical results.

Hair loss that spreads out can often fix itself or be treated by finding and handling the cause.

This article proposes five different mechanisms for telogen effluvium, supported by clinical findings, based on changes in different phases of the hair cycle.
