The term ``anabolic-androgenic steroids'' (AASs) refers to a class of artificial substances that resemble the natural testosterone. The most often misused androgen, nandrolone decanoate (ND), is regarded as a public health concern that needs immediate action to raise public awareness of toxicology results on AAS usage. This study designed to investigate the therapeutics effect of nano ferrite-chitosan-curcumin nanoparticles (NF-CH-CurNPs) against ND induced renal toxicity, proliferation, inflammation, and oxidative stress in male rats. A total of 48 adult male rats were assigned randomly to 6 groups [1 st  group was control; 2 nd  group was CurNPs where rats received CurNPs (50 mg/kg BW/2 day) for two wk; 3 rd  group was NF-CH-CurNPs where rats received NF-CH-CurNPs (24 mg/Kg BW/2 day) for 2 wk.; 4 th  group was ND where rats received ND (25 mg/Kg BW/wk) for four wk; 5th group was ND + CurNPs in which rats received ND for 4 wk then treated with CurNPs for another 2 wk; 6 th  group was ND + NF-CH-CurNPs where rats received ND for 4 wk then treated with NF-CH-CurNPs for another 2 wk]. A significant elevation in serum Urea, creatinine, kidney damage, MDA, PCNA, TNFα and a significant depletion in sodium, potassium ions, catalase, SOD, GSH after ND administration as compared to control. On the contrary, treatment of ND with CurNPs or/and NF-CH-CurNPs induced significant enhancements of the studied parameters, kidney structure and functions, oxidative stress, PCNA and TNFα expressions with best results for the treatments with NF-CH-CurNPs that may possibly scavenge free radicals creating valuable effects in contrast to ND.
