Kidney problems from using Testosterone??

[rbalboa]

Hey gang, quick question...

I received the majority of my gear. Just waiting on my Arimidex but, once that arrives (any day now), I'm all set to start which I've been very eager to do.

Over the past few months I'd been having back pain and a lousy pee stream. My concern was a kidney stone or possibly a prostate issue. So I went to my urologist because I wanted to find out before starting my cycle. In all my research, I've read that T can enlarge the prostate slightly so I wanted to make sure there wasn't already an issue.

Anyway, today, I found out that I have a kidney stone. Doctor also told me that, based on my blood work, my creatinine (sp?) level was high and indicated my kidney's aren't functioning at their best so he wants me to go and see a Nephrologist (kidney specialist).

I guess my question is, does anyone know if a cycle of T can have adverse effects on the kidneys? I'd really like to start my cycle now but I'm guessing I should wait until after I see the Nephrologist?

Quite honestly, I'd probably start my cycle anyway but, I'm concerned the doctors will discover I'm using T if they run more blood work on me.

Think I should wait?

I wouldn't do anything until the issue with your kidneys is sorted out. I borrowed this from another site because I think it will give you the answer to the question.
"The kidneys can undergo more possible strain during anabolic steroid intake. Kidneys are involved in some of the filtration and excretion systems of the body, and as such, when a foreign substance is administered, they necessarily work harder. Some steroid users have noticed very dark urine when on a cycle, and this is indicative of the kidneys working overtime to accomplish their goal. One of the major offenders of this seems to be Trenbolone, which turns the user s urine a very dark color unless enough water is taken in daily. Also, even though I know you re probably getting sick of hearing this from me, the possibility of side effects is dependant on both dose as well as compounds administered. Some steroids (Nandrolone) are even used to help treat people with Kidney problems! So clearly, they aren´t as bad as they´re made out to be with regards to possible kidney issues."

Too much protein can also cause kidney problems. A close friend of mine underwent transplant surgery not long ago and too much protein caused an already poorly function kidney to not function at all.

Low testosterone is also tied to kidney failure so a kidney specialist will undoubtedly be checking you testosterone level. You don't want to have to explain why your test level is 2000.

Steroid abuse, which can come from overuse of any steroids, can give liver, kidney and other problems.
