Sexual dysfunction is prevalent in kidney transplant patients, particularly women. Depression and lower education levels are linked to sexual dysfunction in this population.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Urology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a frequent complication for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
  • Existing research on SD post-kidney transplantation shows varied outcomes.
  • Understanding SD prevalence and associated factors in transplant recipients is crucial for comprehensive care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Turkish kidney transplant recipients.
  • To explore the relationship between sexual dysfunction and sociodemographic and clinical variables.

Main Methods:

  • The study included 98 kidney transplant patients.
  • Sexual functioning was assessed using the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX).
  • Depression levels were measured with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).

Main Results:

  • A high prevalence of SD was observed in 69.4% of patients.
  • SD rates were significantly higher in women (93.4%) compared to men (56.9%).
  • Single patients reported higher ASEX scores than married patients.
  • SD was associated with increased depression (P < .001) and lower educational attainment in female patients (P = .02).

Conclusions:

  • Sexual dysfunction is a common issue among Turkish kidney transplant patients, with a notable impact on women.
  • Factors such as marital status, depression, and education level influence SD in this population.
  • Integrating SD assessment and management into routine post-transplant care, including patient education, is recommended.
