Anemia can cause hair loss. Anemia is a series of syndromes in which the volume of red blood cells in the peripheral blood is lower than normal and the patient develops a series of syndromes. Anemia is a symptom that can cause changes in many aspects of the body, because the body’s blood is redistributed in anemia, giving priority to ensuring blood supply to vital organs such as the heart, liver, brain, and kidneys, while the supply to organs such as the skin, hair follicles, extremities, and muscles is relatively reduced. The blood supply to hair follicles will be reduced in patients with anemia, which will cause malnutrition of hair follicles and the situation that they cannot supply hair growth normally, then hair loss will be easily caused. Also, in some patients with iron deficiency anemia, due to the lack of iron in the tissues, there will be dryness, dryness, yellowing, easy to break and hair loss of the hair. Therefore, anemia can cause hair loss. Clinically, besides anemia can cause hair loss, in female patients, diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus can also cause hair loss, so if a woman has hair loss, she should consider it caused by anemia and also pay attention to exclude systemic lupus erythematosus.
