June 2026 in “Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports” This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of intravenous iron therapy in 109 patients with iron deficiency-related hair loss, focusing on 85 women with a mean age of 47. Significant improvements in hematological and iron status parameters were observed after treatment with intravenous ferric sucrose or ferric carboxymaltose. At three months, 60% of patients experienced complete resolution of hair loss, 36% had partial improvement, and 4% had persistent hair loss. Patients with complete resolution had higher baseline hemoglobin levels. The study concludes that intravenous iron therapy is effective for treating hair loss associated with iron deficiency, but larger prospective studies are needed for confirmation.
