Hair loss experience
Hi, my mom started dialysis 4 months ago, she had a big bald patch on the front of her hair almost two weeks after and then it started going downhill quickly from there. Dialysis is hard as it is and she feels like she’s losing her femininity as well. Her nephrologist tells her her blood work is within range, she has ferritine in range, I saw the blood work and it’s true. He said he doesn’t know what makes her keep losing hair. It also tends to matt quickly.
Was this one of your dialysis many ugly sides? Anything that worked for you?
Google says it happens to 10% of dialysis patient and tends to grow back after 6 months, but with the way the shedding is going..I think she’ll be completely bald by 6 months and it’s really weighing on her.
Pic from google just to show you an example, her case is worse.
