A study investigated the link between male infertility and renal function, finding childless men more likely to have impaired kidney function independent of health factors. This suggests male infertility may increase the risk of non-communicable diseases like renal disease. Male infertility has been associated with other health risks like heart disease and diabetes. Data from a large population-based sample group was used for the study, revealing childless men had lower glomerular filtration rates and higher proteinuria levels compared to fathers. These findings suggest the need for routine kidney function evaluation in men with reduced fertility to prevent potential renal disease.
