Hi
Thanks for asking.
It is fairly common to have the hair fall as a result of the chronic medical conditions, these chronic illnesses make the hair fall in the catabolic state with the resultant fall seen in cases of the chronic illnesses.
Majority of this is reversible and the patient usually the hair fall in a short period after the illness in question has been brought under the control.
Thanks.
