RESPIRATORY IMPAIRMENT- SKIN ATROPHY - RENAL FAILURE

***

LOSS OF PULMONARY ELASTICITY AND RESPIRATORY IMPAIRMENT

Normal breathing is the result of a good elasticity of lungs' connective tissue. Respiratory muscles in good condition are also necessary for a good respiration. Connective tissue deterioration and amyotrophy of respiratory muscles in low testosterone conditions leads to breathing problems.

SKIN ATROPHY

The altered connective tissue is also responsible for skin aging and phimosis. This condition leads to chronic skin infection.

RENAL FAILURE

The kidney insufficiency is the consequence of three great mechanisms.

The first is the lack of trophic influence on the renal parenchyma.

The second is the impairment of kidney function by hypertension in ureteral cavities secondary to hypertrophy of the uretero-trigonal musculature which is the consequence of bladder outlet obstruction created by prostate diseases.

The third is the arteriosclerosis of the renal arteries. All those phenomenons are aggravated by loss of testosterone.
