This may cause fluid to build up in the abdomen (ascites), the chest cavity, liver, and the limbs. Biventricular failure can arise when both the right and left ventricles are not working properly, such as in dogs with heart muscle failure resulting from dilated cardiomyopathy or poisoning.

Spironolactone, an aldosterone antagonist used for high blood pressure treatment, presents both anti-androgenic and oestrogenic activities. This drug can induce gynecomastia after one month only of treatment, with a dose-dependent incidence.

In patients with chronic liver or biliary disease, impaired liver function is a metabolic contraindication to the use of oestrogens. However, in cholestatic liver disease and chronic liver disease, there is an increased incidence of osteoporosis.

SYSTEMIC EFFECTS OF TESTOSTERONE While topical testosterone delivery systems avoid first-pass hepatic metabolism, there remains concern regarding TRT in patients with chronic liver disease.

Do you need to take an aromatase inhibitor (AI)? Increased levels of testosterone through TRT will normally raise estrogen levels. And this is not necessarily a bad thing. However, too much estrogen can have unwanted side effects such as gynaecomastia, water retention, and nipple swelling.
