I had a kidney transplant 4 months ago.It was a successful almost immediately. The problem now is the side effects of the Tacro , an anti-rejection steroid . has anyone experienced the thinning of hair and the thinning and sagging (wrinkling) of the skin?

PS: I have always been in great shape. I've kept in good shape by diet (vegan) and exercising including: light weight lifting, spinning, rowing,eliptical etc.

PS: Please respond I'm new on this site.

Hello there, you might be better joining the Kidney Transplant Community - also on Health Unlocked and they might be better placed to advise on kidney matters rather than this one which is liver related.

Hope you find answers there,
