Abstract
Amaç: Alopesi areata (AA), saçlı deride skar bırakmayan kıl kaybı ile karakterize, inflamatuar bir hastalıktır. Son dönemlerde inflamatuar ve otoimmun hastalıkların patogenezinde düşük antioksidan düzeyleri ve oksidatif stresin rol oynadığını gösteren çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Çalışmadaki amacımız, vücuttaki antioksidan durumu yansıtan serum bilirubin, albümin (Alb) ve ürik asit (ÜA) düzeylerinin alopesi areata etiyopatogenezinde rolünü değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya dermatoloji kliniğine başvuran 62 AA hastası ile yaş ve cinsiyet olarak benzer 61 sağlıklı kontrol grubu alındı. Her iki grupta, serum total bilirubin (Tbil), direkt bilirubin (Dbil), indirekt bilirubin (İbil), ÜA ve Alb düzeyleri ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 62 alopesi areata hastası (50 erkek, 12 kadın) ve 61 kontrol hastası (48 erkek, 13 kadın) dahil edildi. İki grup arasında yaş ve cinsiyet açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Alopesi areatalı hastalarda serum Tbil, İbil, ÜA ve Alb değerleri kontrol grubuna göre daha düşüktü, fakat istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu.
Sonuç: Alopesi areatalı hastalarda serum Tbil, İbil, ÜA ve Alb değerlerinin kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük olması bize vücuttaki antioksidan durumu yansıtan serum bilirubin, albümin ve ürik asit düzeylerinin alopesi areata etiyopatogenezinde rolü olabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Bununla birlikte istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde düşüklük saptanmaması nedeniyle daha geniş olgu serileri içeren çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğuna inanmaktayız.

Abstract
Aim: Alopecia areata (AA) is an inflammatory disease, characterized by hair loss with no scar on the scalp. Recently, there have been studies which show that low antioxidant levels and oxidative stress play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study is to assess the role of serum bilirubin, albumin (Alb) and uric acid (UA) levels, which reflect the antioxidant state in the body, on the etiopathogenesis of alopecia areata.
Materials and Methods: Sixty-two AA patients who had admitted to the dermatology clinic, and 61 control subjects with similar age and sex were included in the study. Serum total bilirubin (Tbil), direct bilirubin (Dbil), indirect bilirubin (Ibil), UA and Alb levels were measured in both groups.
Results: Sixty-two alopecia areata patients (50 male, 12 female) and 61 control patients (48 male, 13 female) were included in the study. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age and gender. In patients with AA, serum Tbil, Ibil, UA and Alb values were lower than the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference.
Conclusion: Serum Tbil, Ibil, UA and Alb values were lower in patients with AA compared to the
control group, suggesting that the serum bilirubin, UA and Alb levels reflecting the antioxidant status in
the body may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of AA. However, we believe that there is a need for
studies involving larger case series because there is no statistically significant decrease.
