[Erectile Dysfunction In Chronic Hemodyalized Patients, Clinical And Epidemiological Aspects In Nephrologic...

Erectile dysfunction is a common pathology in the general population. The frequency of these erectile disorders is increased in some particular populations such as patients with renal impairment in which it is estimated between 50% and 70% depending on the stage of renal failure.

Our study aims to study erectile dysfunction in chronic hemodialyzed male patients.

This is a descriptive prospective study carried out during the period from April 3 to August 31, 2017 having covered 65 chronic hemodialyzed patients for more than 12 months.

In our study the prevalence of DE was 70.8% and moderate in 13.8%, severe in 30.8%, mild in 26.2%. Testosteronemia was normal in 83.1% of cases and significantly lower in patients with sexual disorders p = 0.030. Libido disorders were observed in 57% of our patients and significantly related to a decrease in testosteronemia p = 0.001. Vascular nephropathy was the most common etiology, i.e. 50.8% of cases followed by chronic Glomerulonephritis 24.6% and in 13.8% of cases no underlying etiology was found.
