    TLDR Women with cicatricial hair loss may have a higher risk of hypertension.
    The study found that African American and Caucasian women with cicatricial hair loss had an increased risk of hypertension compared to control groups. This suggested a potential link between cicatricial hair loss and hypertension, possibly due to overlapping biological mechanisms involving the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which is known to contribute to fibrosis. The findings highlighted the importance of considering hypertension as a significant health concern in women experiencing cicatricial hair loss during reproductive aging.

      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.

      Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.

      Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
