Article Synopsis
- Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common type of hair loss in women, influenced by factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances.
- A study involving 108 female patients aimed to compare blood biochemical markers with findings from digital phototrichograms to better understand diffuse hair loss.
- Results showed that while serum biochemical parameters were normal, the hair pull test indicated a higher incidence in chronic TE, and lower ferritin levels were associated with an increased telogen ratio, suggesting a link between nutritional status and hair loss.
