The person is on diaylsis

Answer 1

I have a patient who is on dialysis and has had hair loss. The patient was put on minimal heparin at first but it was stopped. This was then changed into dalteparin or fragmin. this is more expensive compared to the heparin but it can help prevent further hair loss.

Answer 2

don't know anyone who uses it.
