I have severe hairloss(lashes,brows) and alopecia.All my blood tests are normal except of ANA, ANTI-TPO(400) and ANTI-TG(24) my endo said the thyroid antibodies are not the cause of my hairloss. Help
It could be lupus or scleroderma (both show positive ANA test and cause hair loss and many other symptoms - ). In order to determine the correct diagnosis, further tests need to be done: anti do DNA, Anti Scl, anti Sm. please refer to the answer I gave you earlier today.
Hair loss on the scalp and beard area could be alopecia areata, a condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles causing hair to fall out.
This could be a cause of a systemic autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its own anagen hair follicles and suppresses or stops hair growth. For example, T cell lymphocytes cluster around affected follicles, causing inflammation and subsequent hair loss.
Alopecia areata is usually treated with injections of cortisone.
However other causes can include ringworm, a fungal infection, which is less likely in an adult.
