Package “HAIR”
Hair loss is a common condition that is more prevalent among adults, but even children can suffer from it. Every day, each of us loses about 50-100 hairs, which, compared to the 100,000+ hairs on our head, is a small loss. Moreover, the lost hair is replaced by new hair and so the forces are equalized – in the normal case.
Its causes are varied, including various environmental factors and genetic predisposition. Quite a few diseases can proceed solely with the manifestation of hair loss.
Common causes are: hormonal changes, stress, childbirth, menopause, genetic inheritance, autoimmune disease (alopecia areata), thyroid disease, scalp infection (ringworm), physical and chemical damaging factors, intake of certain medications.
Hair loss diagnosis
Diagnosing hair loss in women is more difficult than in men. It is imperative to conduct tests to rule out various diseases that could cause hair loss.
Here are the most commonly used diagnostic tests:
a) hair pull test;
b) the “root pull” test;
c) skin biopsy ;
d) trichoscopy.
Diagnosis of hair loss by laboratory tests
Testing of certain peripheral blood (serum and/or plasma) parameters is not only desirable but also mandatory in order to detect medical conditions associated with hair loss in order to provide appropriate treatment.
