Glossary Inflammatory Markers

substances in blood indicating body inflammation

Inflammatory markers are substances in the blood that indicate the presence of inflammation in the body. Common examples include C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and interleukins. These markers are often measured in medical tests to help diagnose and monitor conditions like infections, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory disorders.

community What are your thoughts on pre-finasteride blood work?

1 upvotes 3 years ago

The user is considering resuming finasteride after a 6-month break and is debating the necessity of extensive blood work, including hormone and health markers, to establish a baseline. They are unsure if the tests are necessary since they experienced no side effects previously.

community I have a theory about hair loss

in Treatment 7 months ago

Hair loss is often linked to inflammation and DHT, with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil being effective for many. Natural remedies like turmeric and oils are discussed, but medications are generally seen as more reliable for managing genetic hair loss.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community Dutasteride not working - is this the end now?!

in Chat 4 upvotes 4 months ago

The user is experiencing ongoing hair loss despite using treatments like topical and oral finasteride, dutasteride, oral minoxidil, and RU58841. They are advised to consider a scalp biopsy and blood tests to determine the underlying cause, as their hair loss may not be related to DHT.

community Hair and plants analogy and dht (serious)

2 upvotes 5 months ago

Hair loss may be linked to DHT, which can both suppress and increase inflammation, potentially as a defense mechanism. Treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 are discussed, but the exact cause of hair loss remains unclear.

Is capsicum safe for sensitive scalps or inflammatory hair loss? Capsicum may irritate sensitive scalps and worsen inflammatory hair loss.

learn Cetirizine

What makes cetirizine a unique anti-inflammatory option for your scalp? Laboratory work reports that cetirizine lowers PGD2 and other inflammatory mediators, which is why researchers have proposed it for the scalp. There is no approved topical product and the clinical evidence is one small unblinded pilot study in pattern hair loss, so scalp use is off-label and experimental.
