Objectives:
The study was to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of erectile dysfunction (ED) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
Methods:
This was a cross-sectional survey. Eligible patients were interviewed by questionnaire: the five-item version of International Index of Erectile Function. Residual renal function (RRF) was assessed by daily urine volume and residual glomerular filtration rate.
Results:
Totally, 176 male prevalent PD patients were interviewed, six of them were not included in analysis for sexually inactive unrelated to ED. The prevalence of ED was 80.6 %. After adjusting for confounding factors, advance age (P = 0.014), less daily urine volume (P = 0.032) and higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P = 0.043) were independent risk factors for the development of ED.
Conclusion:
The prevalence of ED was high in Chinese PD patients. Advanced age, poor RRF and higher hs-CRP were independently associated with the prevalence of ED.

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
