Kidney Disease

A chronic condition affecting kidney function, sometimes leading to hair loss due to nutritional deficiencies or medication side effects.

Kidney Disease is a chronic condition where the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and fluids from the blood effectively. It can develop slowly over time or appear suddenly due to infections, autoimmune disorders, or health issues.

For many women, one unexpected effect of kidney disease is hair thinning or hair loss. This can happen for several reasons:

• Nutritional deficiencies due to dietary restrictions or poor nutrient absorption
• Hormonal imbalances caused by kidney dysfunction
• Side effects from dialysis or medications
• Emotional stress associated with managing a long term illness

Hair loss caused by kidney disease can be gradual or sudden, it often feels deeply personal and distressing.
