The Renal Iohexol Clearance Survey examined whether testosterone is a risk factor for age-related measured glomerular filtration rate decline in males

Key takeaways

Researchers looked at whether testosterone levels are linked to faster decline in kidney filtering rate. They used a precise test (iohexol clearance) instead of the usual blood test to avoid bias. This study reports methods and background, but no final results are given.
