    TLDR Patients on long-term hemodialysis often have skin problems related to their treatment.
    The study investigated dermatological manifestations in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. It aimed to describe the characteristics of these skin findings and their relationship with demographic and clinical features. Patients from a private hemodialysis clinic were prospectively analyzed, examining factors such as age, gender, type of vascular access, hemodialysis duration, and various blood parameters. The study documented the dermatological findings and calculated calcium x phosphorus levels, with statistical significance set at p<0.05.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      The user experienced significant hair regrowth using a topical solution of minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.1% over 100 days, with plans to continue for a year before switching to a maintenance dose. Despite skepticism from others about using hair fibers, the user insists on the authenticity of their progress and reports no side effects from the treatment.
