This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats altered steroid hormone homeostasis and caused kidney damage, suggesting potential risks for patients with renal dysfunction on androgen or antiandrogen therapy.
research Origanum vulgare L. leaf extract alleviates finasteride-induced oxidative stress in mouse liver and kidney
This study found that Origanum vulgare extract significantly ameliorated finasteride-induced liver and kidney damage in mice by improving biochemical indices, reducing inflammation, and enhancing antioxidant status in a dose-dependent manner.
research The Case | Bilateral kidney tumors and lung cysts
This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
This study suggests 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17β‐diol may be the true inducer of kidney enzymes in certain mice, while its induction mechanism likely involves pinocytosis rather than a receptor protein.

Long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride may be linked to health risks like fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dry eye disease, and potential kidney disease. Some users believe the risks are low and the medications are generally safe.
community 50 and started OM and finasteride almost two years ago
A 50-year-old started taking 2.5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg finasteride almost two years ago for hair thinning, but still experiences significant shedding. They are concerned about potential side effects on organs and wonder if long-term users monitor their liver or kidneys.
community Oral minoxidl - Is this a medication that's generally safe to take for life? Like what I understand oral fin is? Also do studies show that in general or in a significant amount of more cases that results with oral minox + oral fin > oral fin in terms of long-term use(talkin 20+ years).
Oral minoxidil combined with finasteride can improve hair density, but long-term safety is uncertain due to potential side effects like heart and kidney issues. Users report mixed experiences, with some experiencing side effects and others finding it effective for hair maintenance.
community CHECKLIST: Blood and other test before starting treatment
Before starting hair loss treatment, it's suggested to undergo various blood and health tests to minimize side effects. The checklist includes tests for kidney function, liver enzymes, blood sugar, vitamins, hormones, and more.
community What Private blood test should I take?
A user in the UK seeks advice on blood tests before starting Finasteride and Minoxidil for hair loss. Recommended tests include thyroid function, hormone levels, liver and kidney function, and vitamin and mineral levels.
