Reversal of Androgenetic Alopecia in a Male: A Spironolactone Effect?

The document reports the case of a 73-year-old white male who had been bald since he was 28 years old. He developed liver cirrhosis caused by nonA-nonB hepatitis and had been receiving treatment with spironolactone for the past 6 years. Notably, over the last 3 months, he experienced hair regrowth on his scalp. The document suggests that this hair regrowth might be associated with the antiandrogenic effects of spironolactone, a medication known to counteract the effects of male hormones, which can contribute to hair loss.
