Sweats after a kidney transplant

I have an appointment at the end of November and I will certainly ask if there is a transplant nutritionist. I also am starting to lose hair which doesn’t. I’m told I won’t go bald. My decision to have a transplant would not have changed but I wish I knew some of these side effects. I am grateful that I am basically doing very well. Thanks for the information

Hi @deakinoh. I'm wondering how you are doing now? I was losing a lot of hair. I used to have very thick hair and lost half when I contracted COVID and then it started to come back when I had the transplant and I lost half of what I had at that time. I started taking Biotin in July, but it didn't help. The new hair that was coming in was really course and blonde (I'm a brunet and have never been blonde). I have been taking BioSil (double the dose recommended though) since about November. It seemed to slow down the amount that I was losing, but still losing more than normal. So last month I cut my hair short (about 8 inches off). In the past month, I noticed less hair loss. This month when I went back to the salon, we noted that my hair is getting thicker and the hair has gone back to the normal texture and color. I wanted to share this with you as a possible solution for you.
