i think you mean lupus, and anyone here who's NOT and m.d. i don't really think can give you/your friend solid advice here...

just did a quick google scholar search, and apparently, they are using steroids /testosterone therapy in some cases, effectively...this is just one, there were many others if he/you want(s) to search...

but i should still stress the importance of doing everything under a physician's care when it comes to diseases and such, JMO...

yes, they can put stress on his kidneys...dude, honestly, i'd tell him it's not worth it...i admit, i'm not an expert on this disease, but people DO die from it...i personally would advise him not to do anything outside of his physician's care...

yea im pretty sure in his case it will eventually kill him but i sympathize with him he loves lifting and due to it he has had the hardest time gaining any size and he seems the happiest in the gym i guess in the end its up to him.

that patient there was hypogonadal.. but definetly interesting.. doesnt mean the same woyuld work with him. I suggest he takes this up to his treating physician... SLE (lupus) is a pretty complex disease...
