Meta
Chronic kidney patients usually depend on dialysis to help their body clean the blood from toxins and other waste products. It is a medical procedure done by removing the patient’s blood via a tube inserted in a vein, then it passes the dialysis machine where it is filtered before being returned inside the body. This treatment is often done three or four times a week either as a permanent maintenance treatment or as as an adjunct to a kidney transplant. However, due to this treatment and also as a result of their illness, kidney patients often experience malnutrition and muscle wasting.
A team of researchers led by Kirsten L. Johansen, MD, a University of California San Francisco assistant professor of medicine, epidemiology and biostatistics, found that anabolic steroids appear to increase lean muscle mass and reduce fatigue in kidney patients.
The study involved kidney patients who were either given nandrolone decanoate, an anabolic steroid, or a placebo for a period of six months. After the six months’ trial, patients who received the anabolic steroids were found to have an increase in their lean muscle mass to as much as 5.7 pounds and a significant decrease in fatigue as shown by better scores obtained during physical performance tests.
From Eureka Alert:
In a randomized, double blind trial, 29 patients were given either the anabolic steroid nandrolone decanoate or a placebo (dummy medication) for a six-month period. All of the patients were receiving dialysis treatments at San Francisco General Hospital. At the end of the trial, patients receiving the anabolic steroid gained an average of 5.7 pounds more lean body mass than the patients who got the placebo. Also, the patients who received the steroid reported less fatigue and scored better on physical performance tests. The researchers’ results are published in the April 14 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
