Hair Loss and Hair Changes in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review

Paper C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This review gathered past studies on hair loss and hair changes in people with chronic kidney disease. It found that hair thinning and other changes are common as kidney function drops. The studies it pooled were observational, so they show a link, not proof that kidney disease causes the changes. It is a summary of existing reports, not a new trial.
