When guys are in in end stage renal disease one of the effects is a loss of body mass and thus muscle. Basically a wasting type syndrome. Some treatments in the past have been amino acid infusions ( https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/article-abstract/569039 ) Now it has been observed that many guys with CKD also have low T and if the low T is treated it aids in preventing the muscle wasting in end stage renal failure. This is good news because one of the most important treatments of CKD is a low or moderate protein diet which has a negative effect on muscle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
