This document discusses a case of a 31-year-old kidney transplant recipient who developed significant alopecia due to tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. The hair loss had a psychological impact, leading the patient to consider stopping treatment. Dermatological evaluation showed androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Switching from tacrolimus to cyclosporine A improved hair regrowth and well-being. A literature review found four similar cases linking alopecia to immunosuppressive therapy in organ transplant recipients. The study emphasizes the importance of awareness of hair disorders in transplant patients, suggesting regular dermatological assessments and potential adjustments in immunosuppressive regimens to improve patient quality of life and treatment adherence.
