Are you at risk for anabolic steroid induced kidney disease, FSGS? Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a condition I’m diagnosing more and more, but the good news is we can catch it early! This means avoiding the worst symptoms as well as dialysis and transplant. To do that, you need to understand your risk factors and know what to look for. This video covers that information, as well as what management of FSGS looks like. If you’ve used steroids or know someone who has, please watch this video to understand the risks!

I do NOT in any way support the use of any performance enhancing drugs – PEDs, anabolic steroid or other medicine for muscle building or body transformation. The “off-label” use of PEDs, as such agents is considered elicit and may lead to adverse health outcomes. Please consult an expert health professional regarding any medical agent and do NOT use any medicine without the explicit advice and supervision of an appropriate medical expert.
