Background
Telogen effluvium (TE) is one of the most prevalent causes of diffuse hair loss,
because of a defect in hair cycling. Vitamin D plays important role in hair growth, and
this is clear in patients with hereditary vitamin D receptor deficiency.
Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the status of 25-hydroxyl (OH) vitamin D, calcium, and
phosphorus in women with chronic idiopathic TE and investigate a probable
relationship.
Patients and methods
A total of 80, Egyptian, nonmenopausal women were recruited for this case–control
study. Among them, 40 had chronic idiopathic TE, and 40 were healthy, agematched
controls. Serum levels of 25-OH vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus were
measured.
Results
Serum 25-OH vitamin D levels were significantly decreased in chronic idiopathic TE
patients compared with controls (P
