December 2021 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology” This study found that female pattern hair loss in Saudi women was associated with lower hematological parameters and serum ferritin levels, suggesting iron deficiency may contribute to the disease.
This study found that blood cell count derived parameters were similar across non-cicatricial alopecia groups but showed general differences when compared to psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa. Among patients with alopecia areata, modulating platelet number and volume may serve as a therapeutic marker.
