Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) occurs in up to 1% of patients receiving unfractionated heparin. HIT may occur even when very-low-dose heparin (eg, used in flushes to keep IV or arterial lines open) is used. The mechanism is usually immunologic.
The hair loss can seem more extreme if your hair grew much more than normal during pregnancy, or if you have long hair. Most women will return to their usual hair growth cycle within six months, or between 6 and 12 months after birth.
Just as it disappears, new hair grows at varying times. âSome babies have a full head of hair shortly after they are born, but usually during the nine- to 12-month range you can begin to see hair growth. Although, some babies can go until their first birthday and still be bald,â says Dr. Muething.
