Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1.To estimate and evaluate serum iron, serum ferritin level and TIBG in women with hair loss. 2.TO detect the above parameters in women with telogen effluvium over 3 months and statistically analyse the proportion of overt iron deficiency in women who have long standing telogen effluvium. Timepoint: 1. to estimate and evaluate serum iron, serum ferritin level and TIBG in women with hair loss. 2.TO detect the above parameters in women with telogen effluvium over 3 months and statistically analyse the proportion of overt iron deficiency in women who have long standing telogen effluvium.	—
