Can having a renal stone be a reason behind hair loss?

Question

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

No, there shouldn't be any connection between your renal stone and your hair loss. Perhaps the stress the stones are causing you may be accelerating your loss, but it's incredibly unlikely it's the primary cause. I suggest you see a dermatologist/hair specialist to go over the status of your hair.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

there is no relation between renal stone formation in kidney and chronic hair loss. The drugs that you use may cause hair loss. Please ask that point to your nephrologist .

Jay Goldstein, MD · Answer

I know of no studies suggesting an association of renal stones with hair loss. Like hair loss conditions,  renal stones are quite common, so it would not be surprising that both could be ongoing issues at the same time for some people.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

No, having a renal stone is not associated with hair loss. The only exception would be if the stone was massive and caused renal failure.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Any stress can induce hair loss. A kidney stone, if chronic, can cause hair loss but the hair loss is often in genetically prone people
