Is TRT safe to implement with kidney disease?
AlphaMD's Answer
TRT has been shown to actually improve kidney function and slow the progression of CKD.
“Altogether, in our study the use of TRT was found to be associated with a significant and beneficial effect against the progression of CKD and all-cause mortality in aging men with documented LOH. Notably, the effect was present in a population that had a higher proportion of CKD stage 2-4 compared to the general population.”
