TLDR Heptaminol may cause hair lightening in hemodialysis patients.
The document reported on three hemodialysis patients who experienced hair lightening while being treated with heptaminol. Hemodialysis patients often faced various dermatologic issues, including pruritus, xerosis cutis, hyperpigmentation, actinic elastosis, scalp hair loss, and skin infections. The observation of hair lightening in these patients suggested a potential side effect of heptaminol, warranting further investigation into its dermatologic impacts.
