The liver is the only organ that can regenerate. Even cut in half - it can recover and do the job just as well. In that regard orals causing damage might be overrated - but not far from the truth, as the liver has better regenerating capabilities. Or one can simply endlessly abuse orals and die of cancer within few years - the stupid degenerative retards do it all the time.
Once the kidneys are compromised - that's the end pretty much. Kidney problems are most common with competitive BB. Why? What's common among all of them is the use and abuse of diuretics and high protein diets.
Wanna lose 10lb of water - pop pills day and night every hour. Add to that *narcotics, analgesics, stimulants, alcohol, and sedatives. GH15 always points to the narcotics (in addition to diuretics) as the leading cause for primary end point illness in users, and not the AAS per say -- unless genetic predisposition to disease already.

Do i wanna be the biggest, strongest, fastest? Sure, everyone does -- but at what cost.
We all know that at the end of day there is a price to pay for use, and especially for abuse. For the abusers there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The industry stays rather hush hush on health matters, except when it comes to sell a few extra magazines.
