Evaluation of Hair Loss and Some Physiological Factors in Female’s Patients Attended Dermatological Clinics at Ramadi General Hospital
Abstract
Hair loss is a difficult problem that is common to many 'dermatologists'. It is also considered an annoying trouble for females due to the relationship between hair within femininity, beauty and individual strength, and therefore it may cause psychicl trouble for them. especially in the city of Ramadi (Western Iraq), (, there was little attention to it. The study aimed to Validating role of the main physiological of the common causes of hair loss. The study was conducted during the period from March to September, 2022. This study was applied on 80 volunteer women who visited the dermatology clinics in general Ramadi hospital. The blood sample was collected from the patient group (A total of 52 volunteer women with suffering hair loss), along with the control group (28 healthy women) for the purpose of comparison. Serum T3, T4, TSH, Vit D3 and Ferritin level measured by using the Cobase 411(Roche) full –automated mechanics. The result showed 'a significantly lower' level in the concentration of vitamin D3, vitamin B12 and serum ferritin and a significant higher mean in serum concentration of T3 hormone in the group of patients. Additionally, the results exhibited non a significantly different in age, Hb, T4 and TSH of patient group compared to the control group. This study demonstrated the importance of physiological factors might play a major role in the etiology of hair loss between women in the city of Ramadi.
