prior to HT tended to be more hostile ( -.243, p .07). Number of rejections contributed to anxiety ( .389, p .02) and depression ( .292, p .03). Those receiving cyclosporine had more anxiety ( -.301, p .02), depression ( -.338, p .01), and hostility ( -.392, p .004) than those receiving tacrolimus. Conclusion: Many women are likely to experience emotional distress at levels above normative values after HT. Cyclosporine’s cosmetic side effects (hirsutism and gingival hyperplasia) may contribute to higher levels of emotional distress. Annual psychological assessment should be part of post transplant evaluation.
