Unhappy Hair Loss - Chronic renal failure

Good day.
My son (14) has chronic renal failure after a kidney transplant. He is on the following medication:
Amlodopine
Lopressor
Myfortic
Prograf
Histak
Lasix
One Alpha
Iron supliments
Cloxin (Cloxicilin)
Recormon injection twice per week.

He is also receiving perretonial dialysis every evening.

Some weeks ago he started experiemcimg rapid hair not just limited to on portion on the scalp but a general thining out. We stopped his Cardura and his hair seemed to thicken for a period of 4 -6 weeks. As of the last 2 weeks the hair loss has restarted with hair on his pillow, shoulders and coming loose when he combs his hair.
Can anyone comment on a possible cause either medication or other.
