I don't know much about hair loss except that thyroid, androgens and other hormones can cause it - and sometimes they cause hair in other places where you don't want it...
Hair loss is very frustrating...
Aldosterone, renin and ACTH .
Thank you for listening and help.
Yes I had seen three dermatologest for alopecia , but they told me its not alopecia . And two doctors check it by blood test ( 4immunology blood test) it come negative.
I will do the tests you mentioned to me in addition to the tests the doctor asked me to do.
About my blood pressure , its normal.
I really want to ensure that nothing wrong .
But , FSH , and LH which come from pitutary g. Affect the menstruation period . And my period is regular. So do I need them ??
I think about doing cortisol, 17 hydroxyproges,
Androstendione,
They should test the entire loop - LH, FSH, etradiol, sex binding hormone. - did you have those done?
DHEA is an adrenal hormone as you know - so did they do more adrenal testing - cortisol, acth, renin, aldosterone, etc - there are others but unless you have the symptoms of super high blood pressure etc. I don't think you need them.
Have you thought of seeing a specialist for alopecia?
Sorry I forget to tell you that I have regular period. So do you thinl I need estrogen test ??
Yes I had T3,T4 but not anti bodies .
I had testosterone test which include ( albumin serum ,HBG,testosterone,free testo. Index,free testocalulated,free testo %,bioavailable tes. Calculated, bioavailable testosterone%) they all. Were very normal expect albumin serum was 51 g/l ( 35-50g/l) . The doctor tell me dont worry about the albumin .
What are the full tests I need to do now???
Help me ,please.
Thank you for your time and help.
I saw to endrocrinologest and dermatologest , he suggest to have 17 hydroxyprogesterone,androstendione,dheas ,fasting insulin,antinuclear factor,anti double syrand DNA,rhmatoid factor. I did only dheas and the last three and they were negative.
But I dont know the dheas has become normal after I stop coffee afyer 2month.
Help me please , I dont know what to do.
Every time somebody tell me to wait 3months and m waiting 2years now and my hair becoe more thin.
Please, list to me * all* the tests that I need inorder to know the cause ??
Each doctor tell me to wait or some tell me I dont know.
Thank you alot for help.
You must have seen a doctor to get the tests - but I think you need to see another to get more testing.
BTW you can test one of the testosterones but there are actually several tests for it so you should get bio-available to cover all forms.
Did the doc cover estrogen, LH and FSH? Those can also impact your androgen profile - it does not seem that your testing is complete. Did you thyroid testing include antibodies and the free t3, free t4?
I have heard/read that coffee raises cortisol etc. but I don't know if the coffee is the source if the symptoms persist after you stop...
Are you seeing an endo or GP?
I also become tired easily and experience more hair loss when I exercise.and my wieght is incressed 4 kilo although iam not eating more.
