Female sex hormones, namely estrogen, it protects the kidneys. On the study of rat females are also known to less experienced kidney disorders, if compared to the male rats.

But, when the rat uterus was taken, the risk is affected kidney pain would be the same. The key apparently is on estrogen, a hormone that although men also owned, but the effect is different in women.

Recent research conducted by Dr. Judith Lechner from Austria, adding to the evidence against the theory.

In his research, Lechner and his team tested whether the hormonal changes when the menstrual cycle effect on kidney cells. About 11 healthy women who are still fertile and 6 female postmenopausal involved in this research.

Each person was asked to submit a urine sample measured the levels of enzymes that are secreted when kidney cells is damaged. As it turns out, the levels of these enzymes increases when a woman is fertile and the period of menstruation. Instead, it simply applied low in females and postmenopausal men.

"The results of this study demonstrate the changes in female hormones effect on kidney cells, so that women are more protected from kidney damage," said Lechner.

In addition, changes in hormone levels during the menstrual cycle also cause changes in form, not only in the reproductive organs but also extends in the kidneys.

According to Lechner, estrogen works to replace damaged cells. During the period of menstruation, when estrogen is high, the kidney cells are stimulated to grow.

He said, estrogen is indeed not a single factor for why fewer women who sufferedkidney disorders. The factors are more complex, because it required a more in-depth study again.
