What can cause hair loss in dialysis? Dialysis is a replacement treatment when kidneys lost most of their kidney function. However, the long time dialysis will cause some severe complications, such as hair loss.

Then how does dialysis cause hair loss?

1. Malnutrition

For dialysis patients, they need to keep a restrict diet, because a well planed diet can help reduce kidney burden. But it can also easily cause malnutrition for dialysis patients, which will easily lead to hair loss.

2. Zinc deficiency

Dialysis patients also have electrolyte imbalance, so they will lack of the zinc or other minerals such as iron and calcium, which play an important role in hair growth. And this will easily cause hair loss.

3. Heparin and hair loss

Dialysis patients may need to take heparin, which is a common medicine during their treatment, which can help prevent blood clotting. However, the incorrect dosage of heparin intake will cause some healthy problems, such as hair loss. So patients need to follow the advice of their doctor to take proper amount.

4. Inadequate dialysis

The inadequate dialysis will cause the toxins and wastes still building up in blood, then patients will have some severe symptoms and complications, and hair loss is a common one.

From above, we can know the main causes of hair loss during dialysis, so patients need to first find the basic cause of their loss of hair, and then have effective treatment.

Since dialysis will cause so many severe complications for patients, so we recommend the kidney failure patients to take alternative treatment to help slow down their progression and prevent dialysis.

The suggested treatment is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which has the function of repairing damaged kidney tissues and improve kidney function. Once the kidney function is improved effectively, it can help slow down or even stop the progression of kidney failure, then patients don’t need to have dialysis or kidney transplant and live a normal life.
