Iv been having low back pain for awhile now and it's around where my kidneys would be. i also have been experiencing signs of low t such as bilateral gynecomastia for over a year now.. can low t and ckd or kidney problems be related??? shudibeconcrnd

You're wrong!: High levels of testosterone can be converted by the body into estrogen which in turn leads to pubertal gynecomastia. You must have been asleep during that lecture in medical school. It was given during the endocrine rotation. If the gynecomastia bothers you enough the person you should see is a breast surgeon for a reduction mammoplasty. Good luck!

Can't Relate: Cannot really relate low T to CKD. However, I would certainly get a checkup.
