Abstract
Bachground: Androgenic alopecia is a prevalent hair loss that affects 80% of males and 50% of women throughout their lives. The objective of this research was to evaluate the thickness of the Carotid Intima-Media (C-IMT) in young androgenic alopecia patients. Methods: The research comprised 30 young women with AGA. Furthermore, 30 people who were seemingly healthy, age and sex matched as a control group. All patients were chosen from the Dermatology and Andrology outpatient clinic, Benha University Hospitals. Every patient was exposed to With history, dermatological exam to assess the severity of AGA, via general clinical examination and excluding other skin conditions, Laboratory Investigations: Serum lipid profile: serum cholestenol, triglycerides (TGs), lipoprotein (HDL) high density and lipoprotein of very low density (VLDL), Carotid intima-media thickness measurement (C-IMT) Results: In patients and lipid profile controls, there was no statistically significant difference. In the sick group, there was a statistically significant rise in CIMT compared to the control group. Conclusion: Increased CIMT susceptibility to atherosclerosis in AGA patients is indicative.
