Postoperative course and anabolic‐androgenic steroid abuse – a case report
View through CrossRef
Summary
It is estimated that 80% of weight lifters and body‐builders take anabolic‐androgenic steroids. Their long‐term use is associated with a variety of pathological conditions and premature death. Anabolic‐androgenic steroid abuse may lead to changes in the presentation and progression of some conditions. It remains unclear whether anabolic steroids should be given to patients with a history of abuse of these drugs who are to undergo surgery. We report on a fatal outcome following surgery in a 48‐year‐old weight lifter.
