April 2021 in “Nepal journal of dermatology, venereology & leprology” This study found that inadequate ferritin levels, rather than haemoglobin levels, indicated iron deficiency in women with telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and female pattern hair loss.
June 2023 in “Annals of the College of Medecine” This study found that childbearing women with telogen effluvium had significantly lower ferritin levels compared to healthy controls, and observed a strong inverse correlation between ferritin levels and the amount of hair shed, suggesting low iron stores may contribute to hair loss.
November 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that hemoglobin α expression in the epidermis is induced by oxidative stress and may function as an antioxidant, contributing to skin barrier function.
This study suggests that raising the lower normal serum ferritin level to 50 ng/mL may improve organ functions even when hemoglobin levels are normal.
