December 2021 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology” The study investigated female pattern hair loss (FPHL) among 78 Saudi women compared to 50 healthy controls, focusing on hematological parameters and vitamin D levels. Results showed that FPHL was significantly associated with lower red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin concentration, red cell distribution width, serum ferritin, and vitamin D levels. A positive family history, acne, hirsutism, and irregular periods were more common among the FPHL group. The severity of FPHL correlated with disease duration and patient age, with a moderate correlation (r=0.366). The study suggests that iron deficiency, indicated by lower serum ferritin, may play a crucial role in FPHL development or progression, and restoring iron levels could be a potential therapeutic option.
