I guess the urologist I go to will have this covered. I hope.

So theoretically there is a link between this and sexual dysfunction…I’ll test my kidney functions through blood exams…but i wonder if any other exams will be required in case everything comes back in range…fucking poison, this shit can’t keep happening!! We need to raise more media awareness somehow!!

You need Ultrasound first. Then Renogram, MRI and may be CT scan Then you will have to be referred to a nephrologist if there is abnormality. Blood work showing serum creatinine in the upper range is not enough. You need very good insurance because those exams are pricey. The Renogram is 4000 dollars. The CT scan is 1500 dollars. The ultrasound is 800 dollars. Each urologist visit is 390 dollars.

ok…that’s very expensive. so please keep us posted…i can’t imagine though how if there was a renal function minor impairment we could fix it…

can i ask you how long did you take propecia for , dosage, and how long ago you quit?

Aren’t we getting carried away again here? Finasteride has such a wide range of side effects, from mental to physical. How many other men report kidney issues here?

#28

Also the topic of the discussion is moving away from what I wanted to talk about. I have pain in my groin, not in my kidneys. If anyone has any ideas about what might be causing it, please respond here.

There most likely is a kidney component involved. I had very low creatinine levels in my urine, when I had to do a pee test for a job years ago after stopping fin. My blood creatinine was within range and not too high, which is good I guess.

Anyone concerned, please try using baking soda. Cheap and very effective and also a very good detox. Plus, it alkalizes your body, removes acidity, which is a cheap form of chemo and an anti-cancer routine. Warning, you will be on the shitter, for a while afterwards. Lol.
