TITLE Reversal of andro-genetic alopecia in a male. A spironolactone effect? AUTHOR Bou-Abboud CF; Nemec F; Toffel F ORGANISATION Department of Internal Medicine, University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, University of Nevada School of Medicine. SOURCE Acta Derm Venereol 1990; 70 (4): 342-3 LANGUAGE OF PUBLICATION English ABSTRACT This 73-year-old white male has been bald since the age of 28. He developed nonA-nonB-induced liver cirrhosis and had been treated with spironolactone for the last 6 years. For the last 3 months, his hair had started to regrow over the scalp. This might be related to the antiandrogenic effect of spironolactone. (AUTHOR) MJTR: Alopecia DT. Esophageal and Gastric Varices DT. Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage DT. Liver Cirrhosis DT.
