Do anabolic steroids cause kidney damage?
There is no known toxic effect of anabolic steroids on the
kidneys. However, one study showed that long-term use of anabolic
steroids decreased the amount of anabolic steroids excreted in the
urine.(1) At the same time, the excretion of
corticosteroids was not affected.(1) It is unknown why this
decrease in anabolic steroid excretion occurs.(1)
No one knows whether the steroids not excreted by the kidneys
accumulate in the body or are excreted in the feces.(1)
