Background and objective: Iron deficiency is a well-documented cause of diffuse non-scarring hair loss. We aimed to find the best representative laboratory parameter for iron deficiency. Methods:This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted on 51 female patients with diffuse non-scarring hair loss and iron deficiency state. Iron deficiency was diagnosed as serum ferritin below 30 ng/ml, TSAT below 20% or CHr below 29 pg. Results: Among 51 female patients with diffuse non-scarring hair loss with laboratory proven iron deficiency; low CHrwas reported in 50 (98%) patients, low TSAT was reported in 43 (84.3%) patients, low serum ferritin was reported in 28 (55%). Conclusion:The reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) shows the highest frequency of iron deficiency in patients with diffuse hair loss and iron deficiency state.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> There is no clear-cut evidence in the existing medical literature of an association between iron deficiency and nonscarring alopecia. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The objective of the study was to conduct a systematic review of the medical literature on the prevalence of iron deficiency in women with nonscarring alopecia and compare their ferritin levels with those of women without this condition. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched between June 15, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Studies that evaluated the prevalence of iron deficiency in women with nonscarring alopecia and/or compared ferritin levels in women with and without this condition were entered into the meta-analysis. Thirty-six of 928 identified studies entered the systematic meta-analysis. The meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects method. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The overall number of participants was 10,029. The prevalence of ferritin levels from 10 to 15 ng/dL and below was 21% (12; 29). Women with nonscarring alopecia had lower ferritin values at MD = −18.51 ng/dL (−25.85; −11.16, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.01). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Women with hair loss can benefit from higher ferritin levels.
