Sexual functioning in patients with chronic renal failure.

H S Abram, L R Hester, W F Sheridan

    The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
    |March 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sexual function in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is often impacted. While some patients experience reduced potency due to kidney disease or dialysis, kidney transplants can improve sexual health.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Sexual Medicine

    Background:

    • Sexual dysfunction is a common yet underreported issue in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF).
    • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis are frequently associated with diminished sexual functioning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of end-stage renal failure and hemodialysis on the sexual activity of male patients.
    • To assess the effect of renal transplantation on sexual potency in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A detailed sexual history was obtained from 32 married male patients undergoing dialysis.
    • Nineteen of the interviewed patients had also received kidney transplants (renal homografts).

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • 20% of patients reported no change in sexual functioning.
  • 45% experienced reduced sexual potency after the onset of kidney disease.
  • 35% reported reduced potency after initiating dialysis.
  • 40% of kidney transplant recipients showed an improvement in sexual potency post-transplant.

    • Conclusions:

    • End-stage renal failure and its treatments significantly affect male sexual function.
    • Kidney transplantation offers a potential for recovery or improvement of sexual potency in affected patients.
