Results show that oxidative stress is a pathophysiologic factor for alopecia areata (AA); however, the markers used can be confounding. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of AA through an evaluation of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA); other Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune-mediated hair follicle disorder. In the literature, there is no study evaluating metabolic syndrome and levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) which is proposed as an oxidative stress biomarker in patients with Bisalbuminaemia, the heterozygote manifestation of an autosomal dominant condition, is detected by electrophoresis, when two distinct albumin bands are separated. Approximately 50 cases with bisalbuminaemia have been published worldwide. This phenomenon is very rare in Central Europe. A 17-year-old
METHODS

Evidence has been obtained of deposition of complement component C1q in mast cells, by the immunofluorscence technique, using biopsy specimens from the scalp from 5 of 7 normal subjects and 14 of 17 patients with alopecia areata and also from skin lesions of 1 of 2 patients with urticaria pigmentosa
