Interleukin-19 Alopecia Areata serum IL-19 IL-19 AA

TLDR Higher IL-19 levels are linked to more severe Alopecia Areata.

The study investigated the role of serum Interleukin-19 (IL-19) in patients with Alopecia Areata (AA) by comparing 30 AA patients with 30 healthy individuals. The findings indicated that patients with AA had significantly higher levels of serum IL-19 compared to the control group. Additionally, higher IL-19 levels were associated with more active and severe cases of AA, as measured by the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score. However, no significant associations were found between IL-19 levels and factors such as gender, family history, onset, course, variety, recurrence, and previous treatment in the AA group.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
