    Hypertension directly causes renal failure. Diuretics and opiates...not nearly as likely.

    Low T does not cause kidney pain. Even renal failure is usually painless.
    You most likely have kidney stones or a kidney infection from a UTI.

    If there is any link between hypogonadism and renal failure, it is because the low T is caused by/associated with the same health problems that caused the renal failure (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, poor nutrition/hydration, statin overuse, old age, etc).

    True, hypertension can be a problem, a big one. Maybe I'll be accused of splitting hairs here but I don't think so...steroids can cause high blood pressure, but they cannot directly cause (in most cases) renal failure. But yeah, one can lead to another. If a guy is healthy and doesn't live like crap otherwise, this shouldn't happen. In a TRT setting it really shouldn't happen.

    Of course. I was referring to steroid abusers who do not take care of their blood pressure.
    Although Tren at any dose has been known to affect renal function, as do high protein diets common with steroid users and bodybuilders in general.
