The levels of hemoglobin (HGB) (8.9%) and hematocrit (HCT) (8.9%) , meancorpuscular volume (MCV) (16.2%), Fe (16.8% ) , vitamin B12 (15.1%), Zinc (62%) and vitamin D (68.7%) were lower, TIBC (39.7%) levelwas higher than the reference range.Conclusion: Although the examinations related to the chronic TE etiology are not clear, we think that laboratory evaluation shouldbe performed for the parameters of vitamin D, B12, Zn and anemia in these patients and the remedy of their deficiencies throughsupplements may be useful in the treatment.

Abstract

Aim: Telogen effluvium (TE) is a diffuse non-cicatricial alopecia that is frequently encountered in daily practice. This study aimed toevaluate laboratory data (whole blood count (WBC), iron (Fe), iron binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin, B12 and vitamin D, Zinc (Zn)) offemale patients with chronic TE.Material and Methods: One hundred seventy nine female patients who applied to Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital’sdermatology polyclinic between June 2015 and March 2017 with chronic TE (TE complaint of longer than 6 months) were includedin the study.Results: The mean age of the patients was 24±7.4 years. The levels of hemoglobin (HGB) (8.9%) and hematocrit (HCT) (8.9%) , meancorpuscular volume (MCV) (16.2%), Fe (16.8% ) , vitamin B12 (15.1%), Zinc (62%) and vitamin D (68.7%) were lower, TIBC (39.7%) levelwas higher than the reference range.Conclusion: Although the examinations related to the chronic TE etiology are not clear, we think that laboratory evaluation shouldbe performed for the parameters of vitamin D, B12, Zn and anemia in these patients and the remedy of their deficiencies throughsupplements may be useful in the treatment.
